Since opening in 2010, thousands have flocked to the venue in the capital to experience their thrilling rides and enjoy the Ferrari-inspired shows.

And if you want to see why it’s so highly-rated, the park is open seven days a week for what promises to be a memorable visit.

“Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is considered an iconic landmark in the UAE and a must-visit tourist attraction on Yas Island,” said Jesse Vargas, general manager at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.

“Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is more than just an ordinary theme park. Our park boasts a winning mix of Ferrari-inspired rides and attractions which appeal to a large variety of guests, ranging from thrill seekers to adventurous families.”

Whether you’re young or old, there’s plenty of things which will keep you busy. Thrill-seekers can look forward to riding the Flying Aces, where you will feel your pulse race as you fly through the world’s highest rollercoaster loop in top speeds of 120km per hour. If that’s not enough, the park is also home of the 95km/ph Fiorano GT Challenge and the world’s fastest rollercoaster – Formula Rossa.
