Melly Lifshitz Notes Top Information Travelers Need to Know about Yas Island

Yas Island, a scenic Abu Dhabi “paradise” is one of the most prestigious and revolutionary getaway resorts in the world.  Melly Lifshitz recently paid a visit to this grand leisure destination in Abu Dhabi and discovered firsthand the true pleasures in checking out the multi-billion dollar establishment.

The grand prix circuit built to host the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is the main highlight of Yas Island.   It also has 7 hotels, theme parks (Ferrari World Abu Dhabi Theme Park, Warner Bros Theme Park Abu Dhabi), golf courses (Warner Bros Theme Park Abu Dhabi, as Island Zabeel Investments Golf Course), residential properties, commercial offices, and a lot more establishments as various developments are still going on.

Aside from the obvious grand buildings and facilities in Yas Island, Melly Lifshitz wants to share some important facts about the island that most tourist and travelers haven’t known yet.

• The Yas Island project was first announced by Aldar Properties in November 2006, and total value of development is somewhere in the region of AED 150 billion (US$40 billion).
• Realistically, the complete Yas Island project might be finished by 2020.
• The Yas Tunnel connects Al Raha Beach to Yas Island. Officially opened 04 October 2010.
• When Yas Island is complete you could think of the Island as Monte Carlo, Florida, and Las Vegas all in one destination (but without the history, hurricanes, or gambling).
• Yas Links Golf Course is Kyle Phillips.
• Total area of Yas Island is 2500 hectares (about 25 sq km, one third of the size of the main Abu Dhabi island), although some reports have a figure of 25,000,000 million square metres (the confusing use of digits and words resulting in a figure that is 50% larger than the area of Russia).

Melly encourages fellow travelers to put Yas Island on top of their itinerary list if they are visiting Dubai City.  Reference
