The 42,000 m² site is situated in the UAE capital, facing the majestic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. A lasting tribute to the nation’s fallen heroes, the Memorial will comprise a series of metal panels each supporting the next, signifying ties between the Armed Forces, families and citizens at times of adversity. Designed by British artist Idris Khan, the monument will be the centrepiece of the Memorial Park. The park will include a large plaza with terraced seating, public gardens and a pavilion for quiet contemplation.
