Day 4. 9 April 2012. We left Dubai quite early, around 8am. An hour later we arrived at Yas Island. IKEA, our first stop, was not open yet. We decided to leisurely drive around Yas Island, an artificial island near Abu Dhabi International Airport. It is work in progress in Yas Island. When completed it will see 1,700 hectares development of attractions, residence and lodging, entertainment venues and leisure and other miscellaneous spot. Yas is home to Yas Marina Circuit and Ferrari World.

Ferrari World
Ferrari World is Ferrari themed amusement park, featuring Ferrari based visitor experiences ranging from thrill attractions, to 4-D movie and to gallery. Here are some pictures inside Ferrari World. We were lucky that day that there are only minimum visitors making repeat entry entirely possible and take no time.
