The laboratories and residential towers of the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology are expected to be completed by the end of the year. Under-construction activities are very common and labourers can be seen working on the Guggenheim and Louvre museums, a Warner Brothers theme park, Ferrari World, marinas and golf courses by late night.

Emirate, with flood of money from oil export, is expediting its efforts for becoming technical and financial hub like Singapore. But Abu Dhabi's plans are different from crisis ridden Dubai which is mostly concentrated on real estate and tourism segment.
