The 500-year-old painting of Christ is believed to be the work of Leonardo da Vinci.
There had been media reports that it had been bought by a Saudi prince.
The Louvre Abu Dhabi museum said it was "looking forward to displaying" the painting, which recently fetched the record price at auction in New York.
Salvator Mundi (Saviour of the World)'s $450m (£341m) price made it the most expensive artwork ever sold at auction.
