AN ADRENALINE FILLED ADVENTURE

My trip to Yas Island was everything younger me dreamt of doing

AN ADRENALINE FILLED ADVENTURE

Nowadays, before each trip I face about of travel anxiety that has been induced by the pandemic. However, after a dormant two years of being stuck in one city I am grateful I can explore the world again. My anxiety soon turned into excitement when I found out I'd be visiting Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. I'd heard so much about this coveted hub of entertainment and leisure that I was eager to see why so many tourists throng the island and its attractions. As I was landing into Abu Dhabi I was welcomed by the sight of its glimmering skyline that stood out against the dark of the night, a beautiful stark contrast. Unlike my trip to Kenya, I had Googled a fair bit about my itinerary in Yas Island since I am not inherently an adrenaline junkie. Therefore, I wanted to mentally prepare myself for all the thrilling rides I was about to embark on. However, no attraction website or review could truly match up to my exhilarating experience at the island! The island is revered for hosting the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix since 2009 at the Yas Marina Circuit but, over the last decade it has evolved and introduced many attractions that make it the touristic haven it is for families.

I was woken up ceremoniously to the sound of the cars whizzing by on the circuit on my first morning there.
