Prime Minister Modi is on three nation tours covering United Arab Emirates(UAE), Palestine and Oman in February.
The first Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi is likely to come up on 20,000 square metres (4.95 acres) of land at Al Wathba which is located 30 minutes away from Abu Dhabi city. The temple site is close to the highway on Abu Dhabi-Al Ain road. At present, there are two Hindu temples and one Sikh gurudwara in Dubai. The temple will have a good Vrindavan (garden) and a waterfront. The temple will be the largest in the UAE. It was during Narendra Modi’s visit in August 2015 that the UAE Government announced its decision to allocate land for Abu Dhabi’s first ever Hindu temple.
