5. Sheikh Zayed Bridge

Dive into the architectural embrace of the Sheikh Zayed Bridge, a sassy 843-meter steel and concrete marvel that struts across the Maqta Channel, connecting Abu Dhabi city to the mainland. Crafted by the legendary Zaha Hadid, the first female architect to snag the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2014, this bridge is a masterpiece that’s both bold and beautiful. London’s The Guardian dubbed Hadid “the queen of the curve,” and boy, does she reign supreme with the sinusoidal steel arches, resembling ocean waves or sensuous sand dunes, rising from chic concrete piers. This ain’t just a bridge; it’s a runway for architectural fierceness!
