Travel and Arcitecture | ABU DHABI Ferrari World
Ahmed Al Sayegh, Chairman of Aldar Properties: “The eyes of the world will instantly recognize this amazing structure.”
Mohammed bin Zayed Officially Inaugurates Aldar’s Ferrari World Abu Dhabi HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, inaugurated Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, the world’s first Ferrari theme park, on Yas Island. He paid tribute to the vision of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan “who is keen on turning the UAE into a global magnet of sports and recreational tourism through a diverse portfolio of projects that will have substantial impact on the national economy and social development.”
Guests including Mr Franco Frattini, Italian Foreign Minister; Giorgio Starace, Italian Ambassador to the UAE; Mr Luca di Montezemolo, Chairman of Ferrari; and Ferrari Formula 1 team drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa were treated to a spectacular show to celebrate the achievement of Aldar and Ferrari in delivering the world’s largest indoor theme park. The show – titled Power meets Elegance – was inspired by the history of Abu Dhabi and the story of Ferrari. Seen through the eyes of a young boy, the vision-like story weaved these two strands together, ending in the fulfillment of the dream of Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. The two cultures were blended together through an incredible mix of live action, acrobatics, advanced film projection techniques and original music.
The show started with an incredible aerial dance of the traditional UAE pearl divers surrounded by a 3D marine world projection. The atmosphere then escalated into a magnificent dance of flying dancers and Ferrari engine pistons arriving to the first climax when Puccini’s “un bel di” is sung by an opera singer. Exploding into an incredible grand finale, a series of gigantic projections, flying pearl divers, a live orchestra and a unique-amazing firework display enhanced the music and rhythm abounding in the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi building. A record number of more than 140 Ferraris travelled across the United Arab Emirates to join the event guided to Yas Island by Abu Dhabi Police. Ferrari Middle East & Africa in association with Al Tayer Motors, the official Ferrari importer for the UAE, and the Emirates’ Ferrari Owners’ Club organized the event as a tribute to the grand opening of Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.
