A memorial to Sheikh Zayed, the founding president of the UAE, installed on the western Corniche in 2018 and designed by the American sculptor Ralph Helmick. The three-dimensional portrait — 30 m wide and 30 m tall — is suspended on 1,327 geometric panels strung on cables, visible as a coherent face only from a specific viewpoint on the approach.
The surrounding garden of native plants is quiet and well-shaded. Free, open from morning to late evening, atmospheric at night when the portrait is lit.
