A strategic hub located between Europe and Asia, on the north east coast of the Arabian Peninsula, Abu Dhabi is a vibrant modern Arabian city. It occupies an area of 67,000 square kilometres and has a population of 1,600,000 people.

Scheduled to commence construction in two phases during 2007, Yas Island occupies a total land area of 2,500 hectares, of which 1,700 hectares will be claimed for development. The Island will feature attractions such as a world-class motor sports racetrack, signature hotels, the Ferrari theme park, water park, and the Abu Dhabi destination retail development of 300,000 sq m retail area, links and parkland golf courses, lagoon hotels, marinas, polo clubs, apartments, villas and numerous food & beverage outlets that will create a unique international tourist destination.
