Yas Island remains one of the top destinations in the United Arab Emirates for families – and for good reason.
Yas Island is home to several amazing theme parks, a gorgeous beach, a beautiful marina, a massive mall, and a world-famous race track.
These attractions, and more, give guests of all ages the opportunity to try various fun, adventure-filled experiences, including karting, bodyboarding, indoor wall climbing and skydiving.
And although Yas Island’s theme parks are known for their thrilling, adrenaline-pumping rides and waterslides, your little ones can go on their miniature or toned-down versions, allowing them to enjoy the experience and join more adventures.

Must-Try Child-Friendly Adventures on Yas Island
If your little ones are ready to take on different adventures on your next visit to Yas Island, below are five experiences you have to put on your itinerary:
1. Ride a child-friendly version of the world’s fastest roller coaster.
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is known across the globe for its over-the-top, world record-holder rides: Formula Rossa (the fastest roller coaster) and Flying Aces (the highest roller coaster loop), suitable only for older teens and adults.
The good news is the theme park has mini versions of these rides, perfect for guests of all ages, including younger kids.
Formula Rossa Jr. is the small-scale version of Formula Rossa. It has 200 meters of track that weaves in and around some of the park’s main attractions and boasts breathtaking on-ride visuals, giving passengers a toned-down yet still fun and exciting ride.
Flying Wings is the kid-friendly version of Flying Aces. This ride allows guests to soar over and enjoy incredible views of the theme park.
You and your child can also control your train’s glider’s movements during the ride.
Other family-friendly attractions that give children the right amount of excitement and adventure in Ferrari World Abu Dhabi include the Turbo Tower, Speedway Race, Driving with the Champion, Karting Academy, and Viaggio in Italia.
2. Go on river rides and engage in exciting water games.
Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi is known for various extraordinary and exhilarating water slides and rides, including the longest six-seater water coaster and biggest six-person tornado water coaster in the world, and the highest waterslide in the region.
And as the premier waterpark in the UAE, Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi has plenty of adventure-filled water slides and rides for both children and adults.
This waterpark has a fascinating array of adventures for little tykes. These include going on a lazy river ride on the Al Raha River.
For a longer river ride, bring your kids to Yadi Yas.
Additionally, the park has several water playgrounds where your little ones can play. Cannon Point, Water Wars, and Marah Fortress are full of slides, water cannons, and other interactive features that let them play and join adventures while splashing and getting drenched in water.
Tot’s Playground and Yehal are also kid-friendly attractions with slides and water features that let children play freely or engage in role-playing games.
Amwaj and Cinesplash are other attractions your little ones will love exploring as well.
3. Join superheroes and cartoon characters in various adventures.
Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi is one of the best theme parks for kids, adults, and everyone in between.
Most of the park’s rides and attractions are suitable for guests of all ages, allowing families to enjoy all of them.
Younger kids can have a blast joining the Looney Tunes gang, including Marvin the Martian, Daffy Duck, and the Tasmanian Devil, on adventure-filled rides and attractions such as Cartoon Carousel Junction, Tweety Wild Wockets, Marvin the Martian Crater Crashers, and Acme Factory.
Your little ones can also experience going through an exciting obstacle course at the Teen Titans Training Academy.
This attraction is inspired by the Teen Titans’ training facilities. It is equipped with rope bridges, zip coasters, net and wall climbs, and other features that help kids know if they can join the team.
Other rides and attractions you and your family can enjoy here include The Flintstones Bedrock River Adventure, Scooby Doo: The Museum of Mystery, Ani-Mayhem, and Green Lantern: Galactic Odyssey.
4. Experience indoor wall climbing and skydiving.
While in Abu Dhabi, let your children experience the thrill of indoor wall climbing at CLYMB Abu Dhabi.
This well-known attraction in Abu Dhabi is home to The SUMMYT, the tallest indoor climbing wall in the world. It has 13 challenging routes, which can cater to climbers of various ages and experience levels.
Your children can try conquering The Boulder, the lowest level on the climbing wall. Your little ones will be given complete safety gear and well-trained staff will assist them to ensure they are safe throughout their climb, so you have nothing to worry about.
While here, go on a fun, unique, and exciting adventure: indoor skydiving. CLYMB Abu Dhabi is home to the current biggest indoor skydiving chamber in the world.
You and your family can try indoor group skydiving here. Because of this, everyone can share the experience, making it more enjoyable and memorable.
5. Drive a go-kart.
If you and your little ones have tried Ferrari World Abu Dhabi’s Karting Academy and want to enjoy more go-karting experiences, bring your family to the Yas Marina Circuit.
Aside from being the official home and track of the annual Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the Yas Marina Circuit is a complete recreational, health and fitness, and events hub.
The Yas Marina Circuit features the YAS KARTZONE, its official karting circuit with a three-track configuration. It accommodates kids, teens, and adults, which means you and your family can engage in a fun race.
A trainer will give you and your little ones the basics of driving a go-kart and safety practices inside and outside the circuit before you go for the actual drive, whether you and your group are novice or experienced drivers.
While at the Yas Marina Circuit, experience another adventure with your family by going on the venue tour.
Aboard a vehicle, you and your group will go around the circuit and stop at the key areas during race days. These include the pits, support pit garages, the North Grandstand, and the podium.
There are also complimentary bikes and helmets available at the ComYas Village that you and your family can use to explore the area.
If you and your family want to experience various adventures on your next vacation, you won’t go wrong with choosing Yas Island as your destination. It offers the perfect activities that let everyone, regardless of age, engage in fun, exciting, and memorable escapades.
Why do you travel? Is it to see new places? Or perhaps you want to experience new things?
Most individuals travel to try activities that are not readily available in their home country. Others do it to expand their network and get acquainted with people from different cultures.
Whatever the case is, one of the best ways to make the most of your trip is to experience the
place like a local.
When visiting the United Arab Emirates (UAE), getting an authentic Emirati experience is paramount. So, book an air charter service, hop aboard the private jet, and try the six experiences below to enjoy the genuine beauty of the country:
1. Visit the Grand Mosque.
There are many mosques in the Middle East, but only a few can hold a candle to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
Considered one of the best places to learn more about Islam, the magnificent structure is hailed as Abu Dhabi’s most famous tourist attraction.
When you visit, you can hire a private guide or join one of the mosque’s daily free tours that can last between 30 and 45 minutes. These can teach you about Islamic practices and traditions and help you understand the local culture better.
As a bonus, the guided tours also give you the rare opportunity to visit certain parts of the mosque that are usually inaccessible to the general public.
But before you go, make sure you brush up on proper Emirati etiquette.
First, you must dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites like the Grand Mosque. To ensure that your outfit follows the dress code, cover up from your shoulders down to your knees. Don’t wear anything see-through or body-fitting as well.
Second, ease up on affectionate displays in public places if you’re traveling with a loved one. Although the UAE has become more lenient to tourists regarding this matter, it’s still better to be respectful of the conservative Muslim culture of the country, especially inside mosques.
2. Tour the Presidential Palace.
Aside from the Grand Mosque, the Qasr Al Watan is also a famous destination for travelers who wish to get an authentic Emirati experience.
The presidential palace hosts many VIP gatherings of some of the world’s most prominent leaders. It serves as a unique Emirati landmark and highlights the vital aspects of the nation’s history, tradition, and culture.
One of the palace zones you should visit is the Qasr Al Watan Library. There, you can gain centuries’ worth of human knowledge, thanks to a vast collection of books and texts that showcase the cultural, political, and religious evolution of the UAE.
At the end of each day, the Abu Dhabi palace lights up the night with an awe-inspiring light show called “Palace in Motion.” The show begins at 8 p.m. and tells the nation’s story in three acts: past, present, and future.
3. Shop at one of Dubai’s souks.
Most people imagine Dubai as a place filled with skyscrapers and towering buildings. But that’s just a portion of what the city offers.
Nestled in the streets of the UAE’s most populous city are souks. These traditional open-air labyrinthine marketplaces are where locals buy and sell different products.
Historically, souks served as venues for trading and buying essential goods. Today, however, the most famous ones cater to tourists, selling anything from gold and textile to perfumes, spices,
and pipes.
Some of the most famous souks – including those selling spice and gold – are found near Dubai Creek. Many stalls also sell handmade trinkets that can serve as the perfect souvenirs for your trip to the UAE.
4. Get inked at the Abu Dhabi Heritage Village.
Want to try something unique when in the UAE? Visit the Abu Dhabi Heritage Village and get yourself inked (temporarily).
Located along Abu Dhabi Theater road, the reconstructed traditional village regularly features cultural events and exhibitions. One of the popular attractions is a meet-and-greet with henna tattoo artists.
Henna is a dye used in many cultures to stain the skin. Since Islam prohibits permanent tattoos, henna ink – which fades over a short period – has become a popular part of traditional Arabic countries.
Over centuries, henna painting played a vital role in Arab culture. It carries important ceremonial value and represents good luck in Muslim weddings.
Of course, you don’t have to tie the knot to get a henna tattoo in Abu Dhabi. Since the dye has cooling properties, it is quite famous among locals who want to beat the heat in the UAE.
5. Unearth rich history at the Jebel Hafeet Tombs.
History defines civilizations. The same is true for the UAE.
With that in mind, it pays to visit at least one historic landmark to appreciate the genuine beauty of the country. While there are many options, seasoned travelers and expats recommend witnessing the colorful tapestry of Emirati history in the Jebel Hafeet Tombs.
Found in the foothills of the Jebel Hafeet mountains, the tombs offer hints of ancient UAE customs and rituals from civilizations ago. You may even see remnants of the first inhabitants of the Al Ain region who buried their dead in the area some 5,000 years ago.
Each oval or round tomb measures six to nine feet across and can reach up to 13 feet tall. This suggests that the space can hold up to two to five people. This is quite different from the Umm an-Nar burial, where each tomb houses hundreds of people.
Aside from human remains, the Jebel Hafeet Tombs also house artifacts that link the UAE to Iran, the Indus Valley (modern-day India and Pakistan), and ancient Mesopotamia (now known as Iraq).
6. Be inspired at SeaWorld.
The UAE is a desert country, but that doesn’t mean the locals don’t get to see marine life.
Contrary to what you may expect, the country houses many places showcasing the beauty of the sea. Some, like the SeaWorld Research and Rescue Center, also work to inspire the public to do their part in saving marine ecosystems.
In collaboration with real estate development firm Miral, SeaWorld Entertainment is building a marine life theme park on Yas Island.
According to press releases, SeaWorld will work with a dedicated research, rescue, rehabilitation, and return center to serve as an advanced knowledge hub on indigenous marine life ecosystems in the Gulf.
Once up and running, the marine life theme park will feature up-close animal experiences, a state-of-the-art aquarium, and other attractions that use the latest visitor engagement technology.
SeaWorld Abu Dhabi aims to enrich visitor experience by featuring work from resident scientists and researchers. They will also offer customized programs for local and international touring groups and schools to foster a better understanding of marine life in the Gulf.
Get an Authentic Emirati Experience
The UAE houses many popular tourist attractions that cater to travelers from all walks of life. If you wish to appreciate the country the way locals do, include the activities listed here in your itinerary to get an authentic Emirati experience.
I reached P100,000 monthly personal income at age 32! :)
Since I started working for my own and for my family in 2010, I never got a chance to have a 6-digit amount of money into my hands - not until I was able to sold a social media account for P300,000, a one-time deal in 2018.
I started my career as a call center agent in BPO industry earning at least P16,000 to P24,000 including taxes and government premiums. With inflation and the ongoing hike of the prices (food, products, rent, services and transportation) in the Philippines, everyone just like me needed another hustle or extra job to earn more and to cope up.
Loading...
In 2018, I finally ended my 8-year long day job (mostly night job since I clock-in graveyard shifts) when me and my wife started to raise a family with our daughter. Our decision to be with her all the time, to be hands-on in raising her, and to witness every life event with her, did a big impact to my career - to become a full-time dad while being a part-time blogger.
HELPFUL ITEMS YOU CAN USE TO SAVE MONEY!
Here's my list of useful items for you to save or earn money wisely:

SOCIAL MEDIA MENTIONS / PROMOTIONAL / POSTINGS

• Under these conditions, scattered to widespread flooding and rain-induced landslides are expected, especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazard as identified in hazard maps and in localities with significant antecedent rainfall.
• Due to the Southwest Monsoon enhanced by KARDING, occasional to monsoon rains are also possible over Visayas and the rest of Southern Luzon, especially on their western sections. For more information, refer to the 24-Hour Public Weather Forecast issued at 4:00 AM today. Furthermore, the issuance of Weather Advisory for Southwest Monsoon is not ruled out.
Severe Winds
During the passage of KARDING, areas under Wind Signal No. 4 and No.5 will experience winds peaking at typhoon-force strength, while winds may reach storm-force in strength within any of the areas where Wind Signal No. 3 is hoisted. Gale-force conditions are likely any of the areas where Wind Signal no.2 is hoisted, while strong winds (strong breeze to near gale strength) will be experienced within any of the areas where Wind Signal No. 1 is currently in effect.
Coastal Inundation
There is a high to very high risk of storm surge more than 3.0 m in height in the low-lying and exposed coastal areas of northern Quezon including Polillo Islands and Aurora. In addition, a moderate to high risk of storm surge is also possible over Camarines Norte, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bulacan, the northern portion of Metro Manila, the southern portion of La Union, and the rest of Quezon. The combined effects of storm surge and high waves breaking along the coast may cause life-threatening and damaging inundation or flooding. For more information, refer to Storm Surge Warning #2 issued at 11:00 AM today.

Klook.comHAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
• Under the influence of KARDING, a marine gale warning remains in effect over the eastern and western seaboards of Luzon. For more information, refer to Gale Warning #3 issued at 5:00 AM.
• In the next 24 hours, KARDING and the enhanced Southwest Monsoon will also bring moderate to rough seas over the northern and western seaboards of Luzon that are not under any gale warning (1.5 to 3.5 m) and the western seaboard of Visayas (1.2 to 2.5 m). These conditions may be risky for those using small seacrafts. Mariners are advised to take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating in these conditions.
ACTIVITIES AND TOURS IN MANILA
TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK
• Super Typhoon KARDING is forecast to track generally westward in the next 6 to 12 hours, then west northwestward for the remainder of the day. On the forecast track, KARDING will likely make landfall in the vicinity of the northern portion of Quezon or the southern portion of Aurora tonight. The possibility of an earlier (afternoon) landfall or close approach in the vicinity of Polillo Islands is not ruled out.
• For the remainder of this evening post-landfall through tomorrow early morning, KARDING will traverse the landmass of Central Luzon and emerge over the West Philippine Sea via the coastal waters of Zambales or Pangasinan. The typhoon will then continue tracking generally westward over the West Philippine Sea for the remainder of the forecast period.
• KARDING is forecast to continue intensifying and may make landfall at or near a peak intensity of 185-205 km/h. Frictional effects during landfall and traverse of the Luzon landmass will weaken KARDING throughout the evening through tomorrow early morning, although it is highly likely that this tropical cyclone will remain a typhoon while crossing the landmass.
Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. For heavy rainfall warnings, thunderstorm/rainfall advisories, and other severe weather information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your local PAGASA Regional Services Division.
The next tropical cyclone bulletin will be issued at 2:00 PM today.
