  • Be there: Tickets priced at Dh150 and Dh300 and still available.

    Hundreds will flock to the iconic venue in the capital on Friday from 17:00, for ActionHA, where you can not only enjoy exciting duels on the track but also performances from the Arab world’s most prominent artists including Ali El Sayed, Maya Diab and Saad Lamjarred.

    And there’s still time to join them with tickets available to buy with general admission at Dh150, and VIP package priced at Dh300.

    The schedule will certainly keep you busy throughout the day with great entertainment and shows. And if that’s not enough, you can also feel what it’s like to be behind the wheel on the famous F1 track by signing up for their special drifting classes.

    On top of that, one lucky winner in the raffle draw will be going home with two Abu Dhabi Hill tickets for this year’s Formula One Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in November.

    The Yas Marina Circuit is no stranger to staging top events.

    Earlier this month, 10 international drivers from across the globe battled under the lights against 20 best drivers from the region in the Drift AllStars that proved to be a big hit in its inaugural edition.

    Other hugely popular events on their calendar include the Color Run, TrainYas and Yas Drift Nights as well as their highlight – the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

    And ActionHA will be no different. “The ActionHA is in partnership with MBC and Yas Island and this is something that will be quite unique,” said Mohamed Al Hadhrami, corporate marketing and
    communications manager.

    “This will be something quite special for those who come to Yas Marina Circuit on Friday. People will find that it will be an entertaining festival with hip hop and pop music, comedy and magic shows and drag and drifting.”

    Top local stars will showcase their drifting and drag skills that will impress the spectators.

    “Besides watching, people who hold a valid driving licence, can also experience what it feels to drag race at a discount price, under the supervision of qualified instructors,” he said. Tickets can be purchased at www.yasmarinacircuit.com, any Virgin Megastore, or at the gates. And Al Hadhrami insists it will be a memorable occasion.

    “It really is something for everyone and it really is a one-of-its-kind event,” he said. “You’ll find people of different nationalities and it’s family event that they can enjoy. We want to show that Yas Marina Circuit can be utilised for a community event and not just for those who love motorsport.”
