How to beat the heat at Yas Island's theme parks in Abu Dhabi

Summer can be quite hot when in the GCC, but there are plenty of ways to escape the sun without staying at home in the AC.

UAE's capital, Abu Dhabi, is home to one of the most exciting islands ... especially that "YAS" is in its name. Can you resist screaming out loud when saying Yas Island?

Hide away from the sweltering heat and enjoy star-studded rides, experiences, and attractions, all while creating memories with your families and friends at Yas Island's award-winning theme parks this summer.
