Yasalam is back as residents and visitors enjoy a month of free entertainment across Abu Dhabi. Yasalam 2010 will see an ever-more eclectic array of performers, artists, DJ’s and free-family events across the Capital.
One of the best sporting events to check out in the UAE is the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The 2010 race is held on 14th November and is once again the final race of the F1 World Championship season adding further excitement and drama as the top drivers fight it out for the title. The race is held on the Yas Marina circuit which is also home to the Yas Hotel, making it the only racing venue in the World where a 5-star hotel is built over a section of the track. As well as the spectacle of the race you’ll watch amazing concerts in the evenings, which in 2009 included performances by Aerosmith, Kings of Leon, Jamiroquai and Beyonce.
Last year, almost half a million people enjoyed the first ever Yasalam celebrations. This year the FLASH-created programme will bring a wider programme of events based on the three most popular elements of last year - Yasalam Live on Abu Dhabi Corniche, Yasalam Live Across the City, and Yasalam Live on Yas Island.
The Capital will come alive with community programmes in universities and public locations, as well as live events, exhibitions and entertainment on the Abu Dhabi Corniche. Al Sahil Beach on the Corniche will be filled with party goers enjoying free concerts featuring many acts including US superstar Kelis and Lebanese stars Fares Karem and Nancy Arjam. The best part about Yasalam Across the City and Yasalam Live on Abu Dhabi Corniche is that it’s all free to the public. The Yasalam party will culminate on Yas Island in the eagerly awaited After-Race concerts, exclusively for F1™ ticket holders and invited guests.
Yasalam was created to bring the many cultures and nationalities of Abu Dhabi together, to celebrate one of the region’s most significant sporting events. Yasalam remains a vital tool with which to project our growing ambitions as an international entertainment and leisure destination. Look forward to another spectacular month of celebrations across Abu Dhabi as we build up to one of our biggest sporting events on November 14th. Last year’s Yasalam celebrations were quite unlike anything the UAE had ever seen before; with almost half a million people enjoying the four weeks of events. With even more activities, action and energy planned for this year, Yasalam is once again set to light up Abu Dhabi, powered by the passion and energy of the people of the UAE. Many countries can bring F1™ to their shores, but few cities have truly embraced the glamour, excitement and passion of the sport quite like Abu Dhabi. Yasalam brings this energy to life in every corner of the city, bringing people together across the UAE. This is a historic sporting event for Abu Dhabi and the excitement should be shared by the entire nation, not just those who attend the races.
