Planning an End-of-Year Vacation? 4 Abu Dhabi Destinations to Consider for Your Itinerary
Are you planning to spend your end-of-year vacation overseas? If you still haven’t decided where to go, you may want to consider Abu Dhabi.
Besides
being the United Arab Emirates (UAE) capital, this city is home to some of the
Middle East’s most popular destinations. It even has Yas Island – a
multipurpose entertainment hub that offers exciting adventures perfect for your
last trip to culminate this year’s escapades.
This
article lists four Yas Island
destinations worth including in your year-end itinerary so you can plan the
best vacation ever.
1.
Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi
Wintertime
is the best time to visit Abu Dhabi. Aside from the wonderful weather, this
season is also when many of the city’s world-famous attractions come to life.
Abu
Dhabi water-based attractions are popular all year round but not as much as
during winter. Yas Waterworld is one
of the most sought-after destinations on Yas Island between October and March.
The
water park houses 40 rides, slides, and other attractions that cater to guests
of all ages. Among these, Liwa Loop
is probably the most intense of all.
It’s
fast, it’s furious, and it’ll have you screaming for more.
Aside
from being the fastest
waterslide in the park, Liwa Loop is hailed as the
first-ever freefall waterslide in the UAE and the entire MENA region.
The
excitement this high-intensity looping slide offers sets in the moment you step
into the capsule – eyes wide with excitement and heart pumping as you wait for
the drop. Before you know it, the floor disappears, plunging you into the kind
of next-level fun you’ll never forget.
Besides
waterslides, you can also enjoy many unique water-based attractions in Yas
Waterworld, including their pearl diving
and underwater virtual reality (VR)
experiences.
2.
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi
When
it comes to speed and racing, very few other places can provide the spine-tingling
thrill you’ll get in Ferrari World Abu
Dhabi.
Home
to the fastest roller coaster on Earth, Yas Park offers Ferrari-themed rides
you won’t find anywhere else in the Middle East.
First,
there’s Formula Rossa
– the only steel track roller coaster that can go as fast as 149 mph in less
than 5 seconds.
Next
is Flying Aces – a coaster that can
turn your world upside down with its incredible 51-degree incline.
And
then, there’s the Ferrari Driving
Experience – an attraction that lets you fulfill your dream of driving a
real Ferrari. Of course, you can also enjoy the ride on the passenger seat
while a pro takes the wheels, taking you on a one-of-a-kind road trip through
Yas Island.
3.
Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi
Your
trip to Yas Island won’t be complete without a Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi tour, especially with the spectacular winter events in place.
Hailed
as the world’s largest indoor theme park by the Guinness Book of World records,
this massive, air-conditioned destination is divided into six “Lands,” each
representing a whole new world in the Warner Bros. universe.
As
you probably already know, Bedrock is
the modern Stone Age suburb that serves as home to the Flintstones – an
animated fictional family living a dino-tastic life.
Cartoon Junction
and Dynamite Gulch also house some
of the most popular animated characters to grace Hollywood. This includes Bugs
Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes characters, Scooby-Doo and the Mystery
Inc. gang, Tom and Jerry, and many more.
On
the other hand, Metropolis and Gotham City follow slightly different
themes. Instead of whimsical characters, they house everyone’s favorite
superheroes. Here, you can witness their heroic exploits to stop their
nefarious foes, keeping the place as peaceful (and exciting) as it should be.
4.
CLYMB Abu Dhabi
Done
visiting all three of the major theme parks in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi? The
adventure doesn’t end there.
You
still need to try at least one extreme adventure before the year ends. And for
that, you’ll have to include CLYMB Abu
Dhabi in your itinerary.
This
famous adventure hub offers two extraordinary experiences: indoor wall climbing
and skydiving. But unlike others of its kind, CLYMB takes the adventure to a
whole new level with its record-breaking indoor skydiving
chamber and climbing wall.
For
indoor skydiving, CLYMB’s wind tunnel
is four times more powerful than others. More importantly, it can let you reach
new heights, thanks to its impressive 32-feet-wide and 104-feet-tall
dimensions.
Then,
you can scale even higher and experience new challenges in The SUMMYT, the tallest climbing wall on the planet. Designed with
13 unique routes that offer varying degrees of difficulty, this wall is a
whopping 138 feet high. If you take on this challenge, you can even burn as
much as 900 calories per hour in the process.
End the Year With a
Bang
Yas
Island is one of the best places to visit in Abu Dhabi all year round. To
culminate this past year, choose only the best destinations in the city as you
reach the end of another year of exciting adventures and thrilling escapades.
Include these Yas Island attractions in your next trip so that you can end the
year with a bang.
