Some thrills belong in the bucket-list section. This one’s right up there. Abu Dhabi’s Ferrari World Yas Island has dusted off its Roof Walk experience, and it’s calling anyone brave enough to step onto that blazing red landmark. Forget brunches and mall strolls, this is Abu Dhabi seen from the edge.
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi’s Roof Walk Returns

Let’s face it, most of us have admired that roof from below. The size, the colour, the sheer drama of it, it dominates Yas Island. But standing on top of it? That’s a different league. You clip into your harness, step out, and suddenly the entire island stretches beneath you. Yas Marina Circuit snakes in the distance, the sea catches the light, and there you are standing on the world’s largest Ferrari logo.
It’s nerve-tingling at first. Truth be told, the knees might wobble. But give it a minute and the rush kicks in. The groups are tiny—only eight at a time, so it feels almost private. Not a tourist crush, more like you’ve stumbled into an insider experience that not everyone gets.
How It Works
The practical side is refreshingly simple. Walks run daily from 10.30 am to 7 pm (weather willing, because let’s not pretend rooftop adventures and 45-degree heat mix well). If you already hold a park ticket, the Roof Walk adds AED 85. If not, it’s AED 125.
Honestly, for that view and the bragging rights, it feels like a steal. And yes, you’ll want photos. Because if your friends don’t see you standing on Ferrari World’s roof, did it really happen?
More Than Just the Roof
Once you’ve ticked it off, the rest of Ferrari World is waiting inside. With 43 rides and attractions, the place doesn’t exactly run out of ways to entertain. The rollercoasters alone are the kind that make your stomach question life choices, while the Ferrari-themed Esports arena keeps things competitive without rattling your spine.
Take the kids, drag your mates, or turn it into a date; either way, you won’t be short of material for Monday morning small talk. Come on, “we walked the roof at Ferrari World” beats “we stayed in and ordered shawarma” any day.
Why It’s Worth Doing Now
The weather’s softening, outdoor season is back, and Abu Dhabi has a calendar crammed with distractions. But the Roof Walk holds its own. It’s bold, it’s unusual, and it gives you a story you’ll retell far more often than you expect.
Not all memories are made at ground level. Some are carved out, standing hundreds of feet up, with Yas Island unfolding around you, and the Ferrari badge glowing under your shoes.
