Abu Dhabi: The opening of Etihad Holidays' newest holiday shop in Abu Dhabi's Marina Mall got off to a roaring start with a visit by reigning Formula One world champion Kimi Raikkonen.
As well as performing a ribbon-cutting ceremony, the F1 Ferrari star signed autographs and posed for photos with customers.
Tony Gauci, head of Etihad Holidays, said: "It was a real honour to have Kimi open our latest Etihad Holidays shop. The response from the customers was fantastic and really made the opening a very special occasion.
