Ferrari World
This the first Ferrari-branded theme park in the world. You can learn about the history of the brand through more than 20 educational rides and attractions.
Among these is Formula Rossa, the fastest roller coaster in the world. In addition, the theme park also features interactive shopping and authentic Italian dining experience.
Louvre Museum
A lady in a Museum.
The Louvre Abu Dhabi is the result of the collaboration between the city and the French government.
Located on the Saadiyat Island Cultural District, this art and civilization museum features its own collections and those that have been loaned by the Agence France-Museums and the Musee de Louvre.
While it does bear the name Louvre, it is in no way a copy of the museum in France. It offers its own interpretation of universal history that reflects the era and the traditions of the UAE.
In its collection are works from just about every medium, including sculpture, paintings, and even photography.
Warner Brothers
The making of Harry Potter, Warner Brother Studio, London
Located near Ferrari World and Yas Waterworld, this entertainment complex is a recent opening on the island (it opened last July 25, 2018).
It is the third Warner Brothers theme park, and it features six themed lands: Bedrock, Cartoon Junction, Dynamite Gulch, Gotham City, Metropolis, and Warner Brothers Plaza.
Sheikh Zayed Mosque
Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Abu Dhabi
This is one of the few mosques in the region that opens its doors to non-Muslims to have a tour of this magnificent mosque. And it's not a structure you should miss either.
It can be seen from each of the bridges that connects Abu Dhabi to the mainland.
The sight is truly stunning: its 80 marble domes are enough to make your jaw drop. It truly a masterpiece and a must-see.
There's certainly more to Abu Dhabi than just the five wonders listed here. It is a city well worth exploring, which you can when you avail of Abu Dhabi holiday packages.
