Yas Island

Yas Island in Abu Dhabi is a world-class leisure and entertainment destination that showcases the UAE’s ambition and innovation. Spanning 25 square kilometres, this artificial island is named after the Bani Yas tribe, one of the most prominent tribes in the country. It’s home to some of the region’s biggest attractions, including Yas Marina Circuit, host of the annual Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix — and Ferrari World, where the world’s fastest rollercoaster, Formula Rossa, reaches speeds up to 240 km/h. Beyond adrenaline, Yas Island caters to every kind of traveller. Families can spend the day at Yas Waterworld or Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, while thrill-seekers can test their limits at CLYMB Abu Dhabi, which houses one of the world’s tallest indoor climbing walls. The island also features luxury resorts, Yas Mall for shopping, and a vibrant marina with dining and nightlife options. Looking ahead, Yas Island is set to become home to Disneyland Abu Dhabi - the first Disney theme park in the Middle East, further strengthening its reputation as a premier global destination for entertainment and tourism.
