Ferrari World Abu Dhabi Tickets & Rides Guide

Opened in 2010, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi spans over 86,000 square meters of climate-controlled entertainment, making it a perfect escape from the scorching desert heat. Home to over 40 rides and attractions, it combines high-adrenaline thrills, interactive family zones, and immersive cultural experiences.

This indoor theme park is more than just entertainment; it’s a tribute to Ferrari’s innovation, Italian heritage, and world-class engineering. Visitors can witness the synergy of precision engineering and luxury design, all while enjoying rides that push the boundaries of excitement.
