You step from the Yas Island parking forecourt into a scarlet roof that seems to push the desert back. Outside, the Emirati sand leans toward the coast; inside, climate-controlled halls hum, lights flash and the scent of espresso competes with motor oil and spun sugar. The park’s scale is immediately obvious: a compact city of coasters, simulators and Italian design under one engineered sky.

History
Ferrari World opened as the first Ferrari-branded theme park, part of Yas Island’s development to diversify Abu Dhabi’s tourism offerings and showcase engineering and entertainment innovation.
Conservation
The park is largely indoors which concentrates waste and energy use; visitors can reduce impact by using refillable bottles and following recycling signage where provided.

Arrive at opening
