Beyond the Centre

of Abu Dhabi

Car at Ferrari Beyond the central Downtown area,
World Abu Dhabi is booming. Much of the
city’s ongoing future development
plans are focused on Saadiyat Island,
a couple of miles east from the centre.
Already home to the almost-finished
Abu Dhabi Louvre (a sister museum to
the Louvre in Paris), the island is planned
to become a key tourist destination with world-class museums,
heritage sites and leisure attractions. Past here, adjacent Yas
Island is where you will find the city’s famous Formula 1 racetrack
and swanky Yas Marina, with the vast Ferrari World and Yas
Waterworld theme parks close by. Back towards the centre, the
city shows its more traditional face at the vast white Sheikh Zayed
Mosque, one of the world’s most spectacular modern mosques.
