TRAVEL: YAS MARINA CIRCUIT and FERRARI WORLD (Abu Dhabi)

What's not to love about Abu Dhabi? Apart from its huuuuuuge IKEA warehouse, guys who love fast cars would definitely fall in love with the city all over again. Why? Because Yas Marina Circuit the home of the F1 cars in the Middle East and the one and only Ferrari World Amusement part are right here!

Want to be an F1 driver? Train and be one at the Yas Marina Circuit. During our visit, we were lucky enough to be able to go all the way to the side of the racetrack. A group of the royal family members were there practicing and driving around the circuit. 








Cool huh? Yas Marina offers different types of classes to the wanna be F1 drivers. Plus pogi points for the boys!

Another must-see place while in Abu Dhabi is the Ferrari World just because you get to ride the fastest roller coaster in the WORLD. Yes, in the WORLD! :)

The Formula Rossa Rollercoaster Ride simulates F1 race cars running with a top speed of 240km/hour. I tell you, the experience is so overwhelming, a bit scary but super fun! You have to wear protective glasses due to the high air speeds. 


This is one happy, giddy boy! :P Take note though that Formula Rossa has a height and weight requirement. 

Other rides are mostly for kids.... but then again, if you're a car and racing enthusiast, then you're going to love these:










 

So, did I convince you enough to add Abu Dhabi in your bucket list? :)
