Shaped like two parallel sand dunes, smooth and curvaceous on the windward side, steep and rippled on the eroded side, this award-winning building by Sir Norman Foster and partners was designed for the 2010 Shanghai Expo. Now used as an exhibition space for touring cultural shows, this striking building is worth a visit for itself alone. It particularly comes into its own in November, when it hosts the Abu Dhabi contemporary-art fair. It's next to Manarat Al Saadiyat.
