                                       VISIT TO FERRARI WORLD : ABU DHABI

       Yes......19 December 2016 was another fun day for all of us specially Saisha and me because she is the youngest and I am the oldest in the group . So if we both do some child-like activities or act funny at times, it is obvious that we would not be taken seriously! Fun day is also 'Masti' day!!

       Prior to leaving home for the  famed Ferrari World, Abu Dhabi, lot of talking had already been gone in to at the dining table, the previous night. We left home for Abu Dhabi at twelve - ten at noon.

      The drive was quite smooth and comfortable as the six lane Sheikh Zayed Road, which is Dubai's busiest motorway goes straight to Abu Dhabi with lively presence of habitation, markets, malls, restaurants, hospitals, schools, trucker's stop, construction activities and so on on its either side.  So the driving was all pleasure, pleasant, and refreshing throughout the journey.

       Dubai may be the UAE's member but Abu Dhabi is the capital of the nation and the richest of all the six emirates.  The city  consisting  series of islands is connected with the mainland by bridges.  Abu Dhabi is home to numerous internationally renowned hotels like Crowne Plaza Yas Island, Eastern Mangroves Hotel & Spa, Emirates Palace, Fairmount Bab Al Bahr and so on. Shopping Malls, Heritage Sites and golden beaches of Abu Dhabi attracts people from around the world.

      Both kids and adults are sure to enjoy a trip to Emirate Park Zoo where 2000 species of animals, including white tigers, blue monkeys and brown bears could be seen where emphasis is on
allowing you to get close to your  favorite animals through touch and interaction and feeding giraffes and zebras.

       Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is F1 amusement park dedicated to the Italian super car which draws crowds from around the world.  There is plenty to keep kids as well as adults entertained.  One of the highlights is undoubtedly Formula Ross- billed as the world's fastest roller coaster.  It reaches such an high speed up to 240 kph that anyone adventurous enough must be mentally prepared to face the challenge.  All of us tried this adventure with a sense of great enthusiasm but when on wheels, it was all fear psychosis and nothing else.  On finishing the ride, we all felt as if we were just taken out of a running washing machine and then thrown over a wall for drying!!  May be if you like the joke!


       Yas Water world makes for a great family day out with kids focused on interactive games and the excellent Marah Fortress Splash Park.  But big kids can have fun too.  Lounging by the pool, relaxing in a private cabana or enjoying one of the Pool's pumping slides.  Highlights include the heart thumping Liwa Loop, Wet and Wiled fun at its best!

       Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque on Rashid Bin Saeed Maktoum Road, Abu Dhabi is a truly remarkable architectural  feat.  Unlike most mosques in the UAE,  it is open to Non-Muslims.  It has astonishing capacity of 40,000 worshipers and world's largest Hand Woven Persian Carpet.    

    From quarter to two till seven thirty in the evening, we all enjoyed at the Ferrari World..........a world   of dreams of so many more people, whose dream to see the' Ferrari  World', is yet to be fulfilled. Due to paucity of time, we still left many items to attend. My daughter Vandana proved herself to be brave enough, to have indulged all alone, in the biggest and the fastest roller coaster in the world, to which
rest of us had given her our NO...NO...!!

       Last but not the least, I very much appreciate the marvelous looking overhead roofing system covering a vast area giving an impression of an another enchanting world within, too!
   
       Night drive from Abu Dhabi, while returning to Dubai home in the all illuminated highway and beyond, was quite an hilarious and thrilling, being our life's first ever such experience!
