The Experience
Before You Go
Dress modestly for the mosque
Bring long sleeves, long trousers or skirts and a headscarf for women; entry can be denied for revealing clothing.
Carry water and sunscreen
Long days and desert sun mean dehydration is a real risk—pack a refillable bottle and apply sunscreen between stops.
Check ride availability
Ferrari World posts maintenance closures; confirm key rides like Formula Rossa are operating before your visit.
Plan for traffic and timing
Drop-off and transfer times vary by traffic—avoid booking tight onward flights on the same day.

Conservation Note
Visitors should follow signage at cultural sites and avoid littering; Yas Island and major attractions operate sustainability programs—respect rules on wildlife areas and refrain from feeding animals.
Abu Dhabi’s modern skyline and Yas Island attractions sit atop a history of pearl diving and coastal trade; the Sheikh Zayed Mosque was completed in 2007 as a national cultural landmark.
