Abrahamic Family House, Multi-faith complex in Saadiyat Island, United Arab Emirates.
The Abrahamic Family House is an interfaith complex on Saadiyat Island in the United Arab Emirates, composed of three separate buildings on a shared platform. St Francis Church, Imam Al-Tayeb Mosque, and Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue have identical external dimensions and stand side by side.
The project emerged after Pope Francis and Grand Imam Ahmed Al-Tayeb signed the Document on Human Fraternity in February 2019. Construction finished in 2023, opening the doors for the first time to visitors from around the world.
The name references Abraham, whom three religions trace their common origin to. Visitors today see people from different faiths praying and learning in side-by-side buildings, while they use the spaces for dialogue and encounter.
Visitors can join guided tours, attend religious services, or observe religious ceremonies. A learning center offers additional educational programs for individuals and groups.
The complex houses the first purpose-built synagogue in the United Arab Emirates. This step marks an important moment for interfaith exchange in the region.

Everywhere, in deserts, along coasts, and in city centers, new building projects change how cities grow and work. Some build tall towers that change the view, others create whole neighborhoods from scratch. Each project shows different ways of thinking about design, technology, and how people live together. In Saudi Arabia, The Line offers a city without cars that runs through the desert, Trojena gives mountain skiing, and Sindalah builds a new island in the Red Sea. In Dubai, buildings like One Za’abeel, where two towers connect with a hanging bridge, or Dubai Creek Tower that switches the look along the water. In Paris, the Tour Triangle, a glass pyramid in the south, shows how the city considers height and space. These projects are of different sizes and purposes. There are large factories like Oxagon that work on the water, and places to live or work in Jeddah, Zhuhai, and elsewhere. Some are already being built, with the bases and structure going up, others are waiting for permission or funds. Each project aims to meet local needs, whether for more homes, attracting visitors, or trying new ways to build that care for the environment. Together, they show how architects and city planners think about the links between buildings, roads, and daily life around the world.
