Abu Dhabi → Yas Island: key facts

Yas Island from Abu Dhabi Airport (AUH) by private transfer: €35 per car (1–3 people) or €50 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 7 km, roughly 10 min when traffic is light and 10–20 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the public Arrivals area of Terminal A, after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Yas Island lies just west of the airport, so this is one of the shortest transfers in Abu Dhabi, usually around 10 km. The route leaves the airport road and crosses the narrow channel onto the island by one of the road bridges, then follows Yas Leisure Drive or the ring roads around the island to the hotels. The E10 and E12 highways meet nearby, and on major event days such as the Formula 1 weekend in late November or big concerts at Etihad Arena, the island's access roads become very busy.

Yas Island is a leisure island built around the Yas Marina Circuit, where the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is held. Hotels stand along the marina and next to the track, while Yas Mall, Yas Waterworld, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and several theme parks are spread across the north of the island. Yas Bay on the western shore has restaurants, a waterfront promenade and Etihad Arena. The Yas Links golf course and the beach at Yas Beach lie on the western coast. Distances inside the island are a few kilometres, and every hotel has its own entrance for cars.

Public transport: No direct public transport from the airport to Yas Island is listed by the airport: its city bus routes run to Al Zahiyah, Khalifa Street, MBZ City, Khalifa City and Al Shahama, and the shuttle bus runs to Dubai.
