Updated November 2026

Book direct

The safest way to buy is through the venue’s or organiser’s own website: etihadarena.ae for the arena, abudhabifestival.ae for the festival, and yasmarinacircuit.com for the Grand Prix.

The museum pass

One pass covers Louvre Abu Dhabi, Zayed National Museum and the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, from AED 120, cheaper than three separate tickets (Visit Abu Dhabi).

Questions and answers
