Ferrari World Abu Dhabi () is a mostly indoors theme park located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is the world's first Ferrari-themed park and is the home of Formula Rossa, which held the record for the world’s fastest roller coaster from 2010 till the opening of Falcons Flight.
The foundation stone for the park was laid on 3 November 2007. Developed by Aldar Properties and constructed by BESIX Group subsidiary Six Construct, it took three years to develop the park until it was officially opened to the public on 4 November 2010. Ferrari World is part of the larger Yas Island entertainment complex, which includes other attractions like Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, and the Yas Marina Circuit.
