Abu Dhabi residents are about to see a familiar landmark transformed into something entirely new. Al Khail Square has officially launched at the Abu Dhabi Equestrian Club, and it is shaping up to be one of the city’s most interesting lifestyle developments, blending heritage, green living, wellness, and social spaces in a way that feels very “Abu Dhabi.”
Set within the historic grounds of the equestrian club, which has been part of the city’s fabric for decades, Al Khail Square is designed to honour the capital’s deep connection to equestrian culture while reimagining how people live, meet, and spend their time.
This is not just another residential project. It is being positioned as a true lifestyle destination built around community, well-being, and everyday quality of life.
What immediately stands out is the intention behind the design. This is about slowing things down rather than speeding them up. Think walkable outdoor areas, landscaped green spaces, curated retail and dining, wellness facilities, and social hubs, all planned within a calm environment that feels removed from the usual city rush.
Why Al Khail Square Matters to Abu Dhabi Residents
For residents, Al Khail Square offers something rare in the capital. A lifestyle space that feels rooted in Abu Dhabi’s identity rather than imported from elsewhere.
Equestrian culture remains at the heart of the project, with upgraded facilities that continue to support riding and training, while also opening the area up for events, leisure time, and everyday social life.
Even if you have never been near a horse, the setting adds a sense of space, heritage, and character that is hard to find in modern developments. It feels grounded, established, and quietly premium rather than loud or overdesigned.
Location-wise, Al Khail Square sits in a highly central area, close to embassies, palaces, and some of the city’s most established neighbourhoods. For residents who want refined living without relocating to the outskirts, that alone makes it compelling.
From morning walks and coffee stops to wellness sessions, casual meet-ups, and evening dining, Al Khail Square is being created as a place people actually spend time.
It reflects a growing shift in Abu Dhabi towards people-first spaces that balance tradition with modern living. For locals, this is one development worth watching closely.
