Description
Electra Street, officially designated as Zayed the First Street (though universally referred to as Electra), is a major downtown commercial and residential arterial corridor in Abu Dhabi’s Al Danah area, running parallel to Hamdan Street near Al Zahiyah. Serving as an address locator zone rather than a planned master development, it is densely lined with apartment towers, serviced hotel apartments, retail stores, and offices. The popular name stems from the historic electronics market centered around the Hamed Centre.
