BAPS in Abu Dhabi is building a temple which has envisioned in 1997 by the late HH Param Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj. The UAE government announced its decision to provide land for building the temple in 2017 and foundation work began in 2019-2020.

As India battles its second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, BAPS Abu Dhabi has been proactive in providing relief work. Earlier this month, the organisation dispatched its second Covid-19 relief shipment to India, which included the first two cryogenic tanks filled with liquid oxygen (LOX).
