FERRARI WORLD ABU DHABI

Ferrari World

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, opened in November 2010, is the world’s first Ferrari theme park and the largest attraction of its kind.

With about 20 rides and attractions beneath the striking 2.15 million-square-foot red roof, the park pays tribute to the passion, excellence, performance and technical innovation that Ferrari has established over the years and continues to represent today. Visitors can enjoy the thrill of some of the world’s most inventive rides, including Formula Rossa (the world’s fastest rollercoaster), eye-catching surroundings and the authentic tastes and aromas of Italy. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi offers amusement for all ages.

SHEIKH ZAYED GRAND MOSQUE

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

The ornate Sheikh Zayed Mosque, likely the most imposing landmark in Abu Dhabi, can accommodate 40,000 worshippers and is one of the largest mosques in the world.

The burial site for its namesake, Sheikh Zayed, the mosque features 80 domes decorated in white marble, 1,000 columns inlaid with semi-precious stones, the world’s largest hand-woven carpet and seven 24K gold-plated chandeliers – again including the world’s largest – that incorporate thousands of Swarovski crystals. Open to nonworshippers Saturday through Thursday, it is the only mosque in Abu Dhabi that non-Muslims are permitted to enter.
