The island of Yas for Abu Dhabi is the same as Dubai for all Emirates: the main entertainment center in which the construction was swollen with immoderate money . In the five years that have passed since the opening of the Yas Island for tourists, there appeared the prestigious Formula- 1 ", the annual Grand Prix, the miracle of engineering thought - the theme park" Ferrari ", the fantastic hotel Viceroy, standing directly on the race track, and a water park with fifty attractions . Naturally, all this is directly aimed at" voluntary weaning " tourist money - o it's tourists themselves, however, absolutely do not regret: they drive gambling with racing cars on the Yas Marina track, they almost accelerate to the speed of sound on the Formula Rossa and joyfully squeal on the water roller coaster .

How to get to Yas Island
Yas Island is practically a part of the coastal Abu Dhabi: from the land it is separated only by a narrow channel, so it is quite possible not to notice the crossing to the island. You can get here by taxi (the easiest way is that the city does not cost more than 10 AED) or public bus number 190 from both Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
On what to move
In addition to the standard taxis for moving around Yas Island there is a more democratic way: free of charge buses "Yas-express" of two ring routes - blue and red. Blue express runs from 9 am to 9 pm, red from 9 am to 2 am, departure of each route about once in half an hour. On the blue you can reach the park Ferrari World and the shopping center Yas Mall, and on the red - to the marina, the beach and the golf club. Routes intersect that will make it easy to plan a route.

Since November 2014 the main magnet for shopaholics is Yas Mall - the largest in Abu Dhabi and the second by the size in the country: total area - as much as 235 thousand. sq. m. meters! Of interest - the largest outside the UK store network Debenhams, the first in the region store Lego Concept and the first in the emirate boutique Brooks Brothers.

Entertainment, excursions and sights of the island Yas
Yas - the island of "Formula 1", attractions and shopping, but there are no historical sights and "serious" culture - they need to go to the city of Abu- Dabi
Main attraction center on the island - great stucco theme park Ferrari World, the world's first entertainment complex dedicated to the brand "Ferrari". There are more than 20 attractions from the children's carousel from the prototypes of the Ferrari cars and the harmless virtual tour of the Maranello factory to the Fiorano GT Challenge ejector roller coaster ride and the great and terrible pneumatic (!) Formula Rossa slide: in 5 seconds you will be dispersed to 240 km / h. A lot of shops and restaurants of Italian cuisine are included in the load to the park.
Yas Marina race track is the second tourist attraction of the island. During the tour, you can find out how much effort (not to mention the means) is required to maintain the track in working order and what are the features of the competition on it. And still here you can sit behind the wheel of a car (a choice - racing with an open cabin, closed Aston Martin and even a real car "Formula 1") and independently pass the entire 21 turn of the track over its 5554 km. The price of pleasure ranges from 650 to 1500 AED
Yas Waterworld water park solemnly closes a large three of the island's attractions. Visitors expect 43 water attractions connected by a single theme - the search for a lost pearl by an Arab girl - a character of an Arabian fairy tale. Among the most-most - 238-meter hill-tornado, three-meter artificial waves for the board and half-kilometer American water slides.
