Abu Dhabi Sphere Targets 2029 Opening as $1.7 Billion Venue Takes Shape

The giant spherical performance venue Sphere, which has emerged as a new landmark in Las Vegas, is planned for Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. It will be the first Sphere outside the United States and is being pursued with a target completion date of 2029. The project is expected to cost $1.7 billion and is planned to accommodate up to 20,000 people. As Abu Dhabi strengthens its position as a tourism hub in the Middle East, the large-scale entertainment venue is expected to add landmark appeal and support the city’s tourism competitiveness. Its spherical exterior and major audience capacity, similar to the Las Vegas model, are drawing attention. Source: mk.co.kr.
