Abu Dhabi Ports partners with Jalboot Marine to begin cruise trips to Louvre Abu Dhabi

Expected to commence operating in the current season, Abu Dhabi’s first water-taxi shuttle services will be available for residents and visitors for city sight-seeing and drop-off by the end of the year. Passenger pickup will be from Zayed Port’s Cruise Terminal and will include several stops at lively destinations such as Louvre Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Yas Island and Etihad Towers.

Commenting on the agreement, Abdulkareem Al Masabi Executive Vice President – Ports said: “We are pleased to partner with Jalboot Marine for the first time to continue supporting Abu Dhabi’s tourism. With the new Louvre Museum opening its doors in November, there is no doubt there will be a wave of sight-seers coming into the city. We are happy to facilitate the new luxurious water shuttle service through our fast-growing terminal which aims to further enhance the tourism sector in the emirate. We will continue to work closely with all relevant organisations to showcase Abu Dhabi’s spectacular views through the maritime transportation sector. Our partnership with Jalboot will open new gateways for Abu Dhabi’s tourism and leisure as well as offer a unique sight-seeing experience around the city’s touristic attractions.”
