Abu Dhabi F1: Yas Marina promises spectacular off-track action
ABU DHABI, October 5, 2023
Yas Marina is set to unfurl the flag for another spectacular Race Week from November 24 to November 26. A haven for connoisseurs of luxury and high-end experiences, this year’s Race Week campaign urges Yas Marina’s revellers to ‘Go All Out’ and indulge in premium experiences along the promenade of one of Abu Dhabi’s most iconic dining and entertainment precincts.
Enhancements to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2023 on-the-ground experience are specifically designed to build on the success of 2022 which was the fastest-selling event of its kind, attracting a record-breaking crowd of 143,000 spectators — the highest attendance ever recorded for an Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The place to be for all the off-track action of the final race of the season, Yas Marina is set to engage a huge influx of guests with another year of spectacular delights:
Yas Marina – a dining and nightlife hotspot
Three new restaurants are set to open just in time for this year’s race week, including Ela Ela for traditional Greek dining that will transport guests to the enchanting Cretan landscapes, with a menu full of family-inspired dishes; Mr. Moto the mid-century modern Japanese speakeasy bar, welcomes guests to ‘drop-in for drinks’.
In addition to the new venues, guests can visit their old favourites, each offering a diverse selection of international cuisines and exciting packages. From the casual party vibe at StarsnBars to fine French Mediterranean at Penelope’s, there is something for everyone.
For those seeking the flavours of Spain, Diablito awaits with its classic Spanish tapas and a breathtaking view of the sunset and marina. For those in the mood for Arabic fusion, there is the vibrant La Mezcaleria. Guests seeking the finest Italian dining experience the city has to offer can reserve their tables at Cipriani, complete with its stunning outdoor terrace overlooking all the superyachts.
For a taste of Middle Eastern cuisine and more marina views, Ishtar provides a stunning option. Alternatively, Boroughs café will convert to the perfect grab-and-go for burgers and beers. Iris will of course keep the party going from day to night with their line-up of world class DJs.
What to expect along the waterfront
Collaborating with long-term partners, Yas Marina this year brings to life an array of globally recgonised branded activations within its Instagrammable Welcome Alley. Guests will be encouraged to partake in each of the immersive experiences on offer, promising a memorable start to their along-the-water journey.
Among the activities are collaborations with Peroni Zero x Aston Martin, allowing visitors listen directly into the team’s radio chiming in on whether they think their strategy will get one of the drivers a podium finish!
Ferrari Prosecco will also be on hand with said podium for patrons to take their own 1st, second and third place photos.
This year’s event promises a diverse range of entertainment, adding vibrancy and fascination for attendees. Daytime offerings include crowd-favourites – a Mariachi Band hyping guests with sing-along tunes sure to build the buzz; an Origami Ballerina – a unique and graceful act that combines the art of origami with ballet is set to deliver a mesmerising visual treat; meanwhile the Mystic Mimes will leave spectators in awe with their colourful silent storytelling.
As the sun sets, the early evening will come alive with the dynamic performances from the DXB Brass Band set to fill the air with infectious energy and melodies, setting the perfect tone for the evening.
A laser show will also be projected on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, creating a spellbinding display that will illuminate the marina leaving spectators in awe – a visual spectacle lighting up the night sky. - TradeArabia News Service
