Saadiyat’s quieter art stop deserves space on the same itinerary as its blockbuster museums. Set in a striking glass-and-stone building over water, this private foundation pairs Orientalist painting with modern and contemporary exhibitions. Free entry makes it an easy cultural detour, rather than a full-day commitment.
