Once completed it will house 20 full rides, including 2 coasters and a log flume
Designed by Benoy Architects, major works are still ongoing
The front entrance to the theme park
And connects to the main building via it's station here
Built by Intamin AG, it reaches a top speed of 240kmph
the world's fastest hydraulically-launched roller coaster (Formula Rossa)
and it is also home to...
The Yas Marina Circuit
Entrance to the circuit
The Yas Gardens
Approaching Yas Island from the freeway
Ferrari world spotted!
with the faint Abu Dhabi skyline in the distance
Passing by some mangrove areas
long distance power lines
and passing through some port areas
which means leaving the city...
Yaz Island!
Love the calmness of the Corniche
views of the Mangrove swamps
with a ride through the Eastern Corniche
All board the boogie bus for our next stop!
And a fantastic sunset!
capturing the moment
Time to bid farewell to the mosque for now.
The hallways cast real nice shadows from the openings
Everything seems to line up pretty well here.
As the sun sets
You need to don slippers to visit the toilets too
Possibly one of the nicest toilets on our trip!
Even the toilets are beautifully decorated
No expense were spared in the washing area too, they look fantastic
The galleries to the washing areas
The Ablution central drinking fountain
Being the 20th century, is accessible by escalators. :P
The Ablution areas are located in the basement
namely Arab, Mughal and Moorish architecture.
The mosque actually spots a fusion of different architectures
Sigh, views you can never get tried of
And an occasional duck into the walkways to escape the burning desert sun
Taking a walk by the gardens by the main building
This one jumps too!
Fountains are like an oasis here, a rare sight indeed
Oh at least there's some water bodies here
Strange that all the water ponds are all dry
view of the exterior gardens within the Mosque compound
and is home to few nice gardens too
The mosque also spots 82 domes in total of different sizes
feast your eyes on these!
Couldn't get enough of perfection?
