Day Trips to Ferrari World from Dubai

One of the things you have to do in Dubai is to visit Ferrari World, the largest indoor park in the world dedicated solely and exclusively to the car brand. In addition to official stores and galleries that show you the evolution of Ferrari cars over the years, this park is famous for its roller coasters and attractions.

Getting to Ferrari World is quite easy and there are different excursions depending on how long you want to extend your visit or what you want to spend more time on. Although there are many options, I have been looking for the best ones so that you can start to warm up and book your excursion to Ferrari World.

Are you going to Ferrari World but don't want to miss the opportunity to visit other areas of Abu Dhabi? YAS Island, where the theme park is located, will be one of the stops on these excursions, but first, accompanied by a specialized guide , you will visit the Sheikh Zayed Mosque or the royal palaces. All this with the comfort and security of knowing that the entrance fees are included. In addition, you will travel in a shared bus that will transport you from your hotel to each point of the tour for approximately 190 €.

Of course, these tours are mainly to go to Ferrari World from Dubai, so the visits to the rest of Abu Dhabi are quick, although you will have more than enough time to take some pictures and keep the memory. The good thing is that being a long excursion, a full day, they usually include a drink and, on request, lunch, so you have strength to ride all the Ferrari attractions.

Although you will spend a long afternoon (about 4 hours) in the park and will have time to ride even more than once in all the roller coasters, in these tours the simulator and karts are not included.

Interesting facts

• Price: about 190€.
• Duration: about 10 hours (4 hours at Ferrari World).
• What's included: entrance tickets to Ferrari World, transfers, express visit to Abu Dhabi and specialized guide.
• Recommended if: taking advantage of your excursion to Ferrari World you also want to visit Abu Dhabi.

Going from Dubai to Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is much easier if you do it through an organized tour, believe me, why do I say that? Because you can book everything at once and with a single price starting from 100€, as these tours include full entrance to the park and transportation in a private coach. The comfort of traveling in an air-conditioned vehicle that picks you up at your hotel and takes you to the park with a small group of people is a great advantage.

Enjoy all the park's activities

By avoiding transfers or moving around Abu Dhabi, you will have more than enough time (approximately 5 hours) to ride the more than 30 attractions of Ferrari World and even feel like a real racing driver on the karting circuit and simulator. Maybe your savings won't be enough to buy a car, but you will be able to go into the biggest Ferrari store and buy some souvenirs of your visit.

My advice is to check if lunch is included or not, as in most cases it is not. If that is the case, don't worry, because at Ferrari World you will have restaurants to choose from. Although we are in the United Arab Emirates, Italian cuisine is the star of this theme park, so you can recharge your batteries with a good pizza. But don't even think of riding the Formula Rossa, the fastest roller coaster in the world.

Get to know a more traditional part of the city

If you find so much adrenaline overwhelming, don't worry, because these tours to Abu Dhabi from Dubai include a quick visit with a professional guide to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, a very traditional but immensely beautiful place that acts as a counterpoint for you to get to know Abu Dhabi beyond Ferrari.

Interesting facts

• Price approximately 190€.
• Duration: about 7 hours (5 hours at Ferrari World).
• What's included: tickets to Ferrari World (with race simulation and go-karts), transfers, visit to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque.
• Recommended if: you want to dedicate half a day only to Ferrari World.

Ferrari is synonymous with exclusivity, and there is no more special way to visit its theme park in Abu Dhabi than in private transportation. On the day of your choice, a professionally chauffeured car will come to pick you up at your hotel in Dubai to take you to Ferrari World without having to wait for any other passengers or making any stops in between. Once in the Park, you can explore all the areas, attractions, stores and museums without rushing, knowing that when you decide to leave your driver will be waiting for you.

Being a private tour where you choose the time and place of pick up, the price of these excursions is somewhat higher (from 120€), but it will be worth it if you are very clear that you want to go to Ferrari World and have a whole day to experience the adrenaline that runs through the park.

Interesting facts

• Price: approximately 120€.
• Duration: about 8 hours.
• What's included: full entrance tickets to Ferrari World, private transfers with hotel pick up.
• Recommended if: you want to enjoy Ferrari World at your leisure.

If during your one-day visit to Abu Dhabi you want to visit Ferrari World but also have little interest in accessing it and its roller coasters, I recommend booking a bus tour of the city of Abu Dhabi that includes a quick visit to the park. These tours are very complete, as they have a specialized guide and also make stops at other tourist spots in the city. In addition, its price is somewhat more affordable (approximately 60 €), as it does not include tickets.

Ferrari World is the largest indoor theme park in the world so, even if you do not want to enter, my advice is to go to see it at least from the outside. I assure you that contemplating its immense red dome will impress you and you will want to take more than one picture of it. In addition, even if you do not have a ticket for the Park, you can access the official stores and also buy some souvenirs.

Interesting facts

• Price: approximately 60€.
• Duration: about 5 hours.
• What's included: transfers in a shared vehicle.
• Recommended if: you just want to see Ferrari World but don't want to pay to enter.

If you have ever been to a big theme park like Ferrari World, which receives thousands of tourists every day, you surely know that the queues to ride each attraction can be very long, making you spend more time waiting than enjoying the roller coasters. My advice? Book an excursion that includes priority access and no queues. It costs about 200€, but I promise you'll be investing in a better experience.

Have you ever had that feeling that you've been waiting in line for hours only to spend less than 5 minutes on the roller coaster? This is what will happen to you when you ride Formula Rossa, if you don't have a skip the line ticket.

Otherwise, you can skip the lines. After all, every minute in this park counts and there is so much to see and do! In addition, you will arrive at Ferrari World in a private shuttle, with a small group of other visitors, so the waiting time is reduced from the very beginning. In total, more than 6 hours in which the cars and roller coasters will infect you with their speed.

Interesting facts

• Price approximately 200€.
• Duration: about 6 hours.
• What's included: full tickets to Ferrari World with priority access (no queues), private transfers with hotel pick up.
• Recommended if: you do not like to queue and want to ride the attractions several times.

Are you a fan of amusement parks and want to visit them all? If you already know that you want to go to Ferrari World from Abu Dhabi, I recommend you to book an excursion that also includes the entrance and transfer to Warner Bros World, so you can visit both parks on the same day and for a combined price of approximately 150€. As both are located on YAS Island, the private coach that picks you up at your hotel in Dubai will also take you from one park to the other.

If you are traveling with children and family, this tour is a very good alternative. On the one hand, it is much more complete and combines two entertaining parks suitable for children (especially Warner, which has attractions that the little ones will enjoy to the fullest).

On the other hand, having a private transport that picks you up at the hotel and, at noon, takes you from Ferrari World to Warner Bros Park, will make it much more comfortable to move around with the kids. However, remember that when you book the excursion online you will have to mark that you go with children, since the entrance will have a reduced price and the bus may have to incorporate special seats for them.

Interesting facts

• Price: approximately 150€.
• Duration: about 10 hours.
• What's included: full tickets to Ferrari World and Warner Bros Park, private transfers with hotel pick-up.
• Recommended if: you like theme parks.

If you like adrenaline, watching Formula 1 races on TV, getting to know first-hand the history of a historic brand and discovering the most modern side of Abu Dhabi, you have to go to Ferrari World Park. Of course, don't expect a park similar to others like Disneyland, because the style is totally different. Therefore, if you are not 100% convinced to go or you are not particularly interested in the cars, it is not worth paying the high entrance fee.

On the other hand, if you are interested in riding the fastest roller coaster in the world, the Formula Rossa, remember to check before on the official website if it is open, because at some times it is closed for maintenance or security and you do not want to buy the ticket to find out later that the attraction is not available.

It will depend on how interested you are in Ferrari and how eager you are to get on the rides. My advice is that, bearing in mind that there are usually long queues to enter and ride each roller coaster, book at least half a day at the Park.

There you will find everything you need to spend a whole day, from restaurants to stores to dance shows, acrobatics and even optical illusions. In order to organize your visit, remember to check the opening hours of each attraction and check if they are open or closed for maintenance.

In total, there are 19 attractions awaiting you at Ferrari World. Some are more exciting than others, although if you like adrenaline, speed and cars, in any of them you can feel a bit like a Formula 1 driver before and during a race.

Formula Rossa: the fastest

Without a doubt, the Formula Rossa is a must, as it reaches its maximum speed in just 5 seconds and, although short (the total distance is less than 2 minutes), it is very intense and will make your heart jump out of your mouth.

Forano GT

Another worthwhile attraction is the Fiorano GT Challenge, where you will feel like a racing driver trying to get your car to the finish line first.

This roller coaster is actually made up of two rows of old Ferrari cars. Both groups start at the same time, but only one gets to the finish line first, so you're sure to want to ride more than once to get your win.

G-Force

This attraction is a free fall, but beyond the adrenaline rush, what you'll enjoy is the views you'll have during the climb.

Like an elevated observation deck, the attraction will lift you more than 60 meters above the building's red dome, so you'll have some pretty incredible views.

Yas Island is not just the location of Ferrari World. Just 30 minutes from Abu Dhabi, there are other activities and plans waiting for you on this artificial island that you can combine with your trip to the theme park, such as a beach area or shows and concerts.

On the island you can get a close-up view of the Yas Marina circuit, where the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix is held, and also relax in Yas Bay, a huge pier on the coast where you will find restaurants, clubs and luxury hotels.

How much are you looking forward to going to Ferrari World now? As you can see, there is no lack of alternatives to organize your excursion to the world of speed, adrenaline and Italian cars.
