Yas Island
Yas Island (Arabic: جزيرة ياس) is an island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It occupies a total land area of 2,500 ha (25 km²). It is a popular leisure island and one of the top tourism projects in Abu Dhabi. Yas Island holds the Yas Marina Circuit, which has hosted the Formula One Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix since 2009.
Yas Island was named the world's leading tourism project at the World Travel Awards in November 2009.
On June 9, 2020, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president, Dana White, announced that Yas Island, previously known only as Fight Island, will play host to UFC 251 on July 11, 2020.
The island's development project was initiated in 2006 by Abu Dhabi-based Aldar Properties, with the aim of turning the island into a multi-purpose leisure, shopping and entertainment center. The investment was planned as a multi-staged project to unfold in phases until 2018, with project stakeholders foreseeing the possibility of extending development by adding new venues and upgrading existing facilities
