Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has been a regular fixture on the Formula One circuit since 2009. The inaugural race made history as it was the first time a Formula One race had taken place at night-time. Floodlights were used to illuminate the track and this is just one of the many features of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that make it such a special sporting event to attend.

When & Where

The 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will take place on the 1^st December, with qualifying and practice sessions being run on the 29th and 30th of November. This event kicks off with a  concert on Thursday 28th November.  As has always been the case at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the race will be contested on the 5.554-kilometre Yas Marina Circuit, located on Yas Island.  Many of the grandstands have views over multiple corners, so you will not be disappointed wherever you are located around the circuit. For those who like to watch overtakes, the South Grandstand and West Grandstand are the best options.

Sights & Attractions in Abu Dhabi

In addition to the race, concerts, parties and entertainment, Abu Dhabi has plenty to offer visitors in its own right. It is home to the largest and most beautiful mosque in the UAE, called Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and this is a must visit when staying in the city. Other top attractions in Abu Dhabi include the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum, Emirates Palace, Ferrari World, Warner Brothers World, Yas Beach and the Royal Palace. There is so much to do on a holiday to Abu Dhabi but you will struggle to find a better atmosphere than when Formula One is in town.  With so much going on, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is a great event to attend for families, couples and individuals. Even if you have only a passing interest in the racing, the Formula One weekend is a fantastic time to be in Abu Dhabi thanks to the wealth of events taking place.  However, for those who are travelling to Abu Dhabi specifically to watch Formula One you are in for a treat.

Getting There

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and it takes just 30 minutes to reach the Yas Marina Circuit from the city centre. There is a free park and ride shuttle service for those coming from Abu Dhabi Plus taxis and regular service buses.  While the race itself is the main highlight of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, this is such a special occasion for the city that there are many other events taking place throughout the weekend.
