Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix

In 2009, Abu Dhabi saw its first Formula 1 Grand Prix and 2012 is no different. The Etihad Airways F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is taking place this year on Sunday 4^th November 2012. As usual, it is expected to be an outstanding event at the city’s Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island, the up and coming entertainment area in East Abu Dhabi. Your first stop should be booking Abu Dhabi F1 tickets. This can be easily done on the

Etihad Airways website and the airline will even allow you to book your trip package including flights, hotels and tickets.

As part of the weekend event, concerts each evening will take place at the nearby Du Arena. On the first night, Australian Kylie Minogue will be performing as part of her K25 tour/campaign. On the Saturday night, Nickelback will be performing, and then following the Sunday’s racing event, the legendary Eminem will be performing. Your Abu Dhabi F1 ticket will give you access to these concerts, provided you collect your entry wristband each day.

Regarding your accommodation, there are six hotels on Yas Island within walking distance to the circuit whilst the Yas Viceroy Hotel sits within the circuit and even over it. It’s quite an iconic building at the Grand Prix, and will no doubt host scores of the rich and famous throughout the Grand Prix weekend. Although a good 40 minute drive, the downtown area has more of the hustle and bustle of the city and has a range of budget to luxury accommodation, including the Emirates Palace hotel near the Abu Dhabi Marina Mall which is said to be the world’s most expensive hotel.

Abu Dhabi based Etihad Airways is the Grand Prix’s primary sponsor and is also the national airline of the United Arab Emirates. Packages for the F1 in Abu Dhabi can be bought through Etihad Airways for those who need some extra help in deciding where to stay.
