Saadiyat Cultural District
A new art-world week in Abu Dhabi, handled quietly.
Frieze Abu Dhabi 2026 brings 84 galleries from 64 cities across 37 countries and regions to Manarat Al Saadiyat for its inaugural edition.
Lund Group prepares the private layer around the fair: flights, cars, hotels, appointment requests, dinners, specialist introductions and post-acquisition logistics.
Every invitation, gallery meeting, institutional visit, aircraft, suite, yacht or private dining request remains subject to approval and availability.
Build my Abu Dhabi weekFair architecture
Contemporary. Masters. Futures. Focus.
Frieze Masters Abu Dhabi
Historical depth matters. Masters content should be handled with conservation, provenance and specialist-adviser care, not casual buying language.
Prepare request →Global Futures
Emerging geographies, new collecting narratives and cross-regional practices can be approached through carefully prepared gallery requests.
Prepare request →Focus
Younger presentations and concentrated booth visits benefit from a pre-qualified collector profile before your concierge requests access or introductions.

Frieze Masters Abu Dhabi
Older works need quieter handling.
Historical objects, manuscripts, works on paper and design conversations are handled through appropriate advisers, conservation-aware logistics and careful provenance language.
Discuss specialist support
Global Futures + Focus
Before the appointment, define the collector.
A precise collector profile helps shape requests for galleries, sections and advisers without overstating access or promising inventory.
Share collector profileOfficial 2026 hours
Four days at Manarat Al Saadiyat.
Official opening hours remain subject to Frieze updates.
Collector profile
The stronger request starts before Abu Dhabi.
The first afternoon is invitation-only. Lund Group can prepare the request, client profile and travel plan, but final approval sits with the fair, galleries or relevant hosts.
For collectors, the strongest request is not a generic ticket ask. It is a concise profile: collecting history, artists or galleries of interest, adviser status, acquisition parameters, travel party and discretion requirements.
Nothing on this page guarantees preview admission, gallery inventory, institutional access, meeting availability or private-event entry.
Saadiyat and the wider week
Art at the centre. The city around it.
Manarat Al Saadiyat arrival and departure planning · Louvre Abu Dhabi and wider cultural-district programming where publicly accessible · Saadiyat Island beach, resort and private-dining coordination · Dedicated chauffeurs between hotels, fair, dinners and aircraft · Collector meetings handled discreetly between confirmed appointments
Plan my Saadiyat itineraryArt specialists
When a work needs expertise, bring the right person in.
Independent adviser introduction requests where appropriate · Condition, framing, shipping and installation conversations coordinated with qualified specialists · Confidential note-taking for follow-up after gallery visits · No valuation, investment recommendation or dealer representation from Lund Group
Discuss with concierge →Hotels and residences
Choose your Abu Dhabi base around the fair.
Saadiyat beachfront resorts · Abu Dhabi city suites · Private villas or residences where legitimately available · Dubai extension before or after the fair
Discuss with concierge →Private aviation
Arrive privately. Move quietly.
Aircraft options depend on route, passengers, luggage, range, airport slots, parking, handling and permissions.
For Abu Dhabi week, Lund Group can compare Abu Dhabi, Dubai and nearby operating options, then coordinate onward chauffeur movements.
Every aircraft request is treated as a quote request, not an offer of guaranteed aircraft availability.
Art × yachting
Collectors, owners and the UAE waterfront week.
The Abu Dhabi International Boat Show creates a natural art-and-yachting crossover for collectors, owners and family offices already in the UAE. Lund Group can coordinate yacht charter, viewings or owner-style hosting only where access, inventory and local permissions are confirmed. The dedicated Boat Show page can now be used for ADIBS yacht, charter, brokerage and private aviation planning.
Request yacht crossoverYacht request
Add the water, only where confirmed.
Charter, viewings and owner-style hosting can be explored as requests only. No yacht access, price, inventory or Boat Show credential is implied.
