Things to do during Abu Dhabi Grand Prix week

Extend the trip beyond the circuit without overloading a demanding race schedule.

01

Use Abu Dhabi as part of the trip

Yas Island attractions, organiser concerts, museums, the Corniche and desert experiences can extend the finale into a four-day trip.

02

Protect the core sessions

Put time-sensitive attractions on Wednesday, Thursday or Monday. Race-day transport and security make tight same-day bookings risky.

03

Use official visitor information

Check opening hours, reservations, neighbourhood conditions and cultural guidance directly with the destination and venue.
