The PM also visited the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum and the Masdar City.

This is a planned city project in Abu Dhabi. Its core is being built by Masdar, a subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company, with the majority of seed capital provided by the Government of Abu Dhabi.

Masdar City is designed to be a hub for cleantech companies. Its first tenant was the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, which has been operating in the city since it moved into its campus in September 2010. Masdar is a zero-carbon city which runs entirely on renewable energy
