Wait over as Louvre gears up for launch

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - More than a decade in the making, the Louvre Abu Dhabi opens its doors this week, bringing the famed name to the Arab world for the first time.

French President Emmanuel Macron is set to attend the Wednesday inauguration on his first visit to the United Arab Emirates since taking office in May.

For the next 10 years, 13 of France's top museums will lend works to the UAE at their discretion and for a maximum of two years each.
