Buses to Yas Island
There are 5 complimentary buses from shopping centers in Dubai to the Island of Yas in Abu Dhabi. That is, if you need to see the center of the city of Sheikh Zaid, the village of Heritage or Louvre, then this option does not fit.
Nuance first – only for visitors of parks
Free buses are intended only for visitors to Amusement Parks Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros.
For landing you need to have a pre-purchased e-mail ticket to one of these parks. Phrase "We will buy tickets at the checkout" the rights to travel does not give. Often drivers do not check tickets, but it’s not worth counting on it.
Nuance second – no booking
Landing is made in the order of the general queue, no booking in advance. Accordingly, there is probability that the places are not enough. Of course, on weekdays, the probability of such an event is almost equal to zero. But on weekends and holidays it is quite possible.
Weekend in the UAE is Friday and Saturday, since Friday is the sacred day of the week in Islam. Read the details in our article "Weekend and Friday in the UAE". Schedule of national holidays, see the article "Holidays in the UAE".
Nuance Third – Flight just one
From each shopping center buses depart at 9-30. If late, you have to get in the usual way, and the precious time is already lost.
There are additional seasonal flights. For example, at the time of updating this article (autumn 2019), additional seasonal flights were announced at 11-30 in October, November, December, but only for visitors to Ferrari WORLD. Will be further or not? So far incomprehensible.
Nuance fourth – without guarantees
This is a free service, and therefore no one guarantees anything. If the driver is sick or the bus breaks, then the replacement will not be waiting at the stop "by the sea of the weather".
Nuance Fifth – you need to find a stop
You need to find the place in the shopping center where the bus leaves, and this is not easy. It is better to immediately approach the stand of information of the shopping center and ask, they will explain how to go. For a trip for free buses it is very desirable to know English, otherwise the chances are lost to get lost, and you can’t ask anyone.
