Here's when Ferrari World Abu Dhabi's zip line and roof-walk experience will open

Soon you'll be able to scale new heights at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. The motoring-inspired theme park will open its zip line and roof-walking experience to the public on Thursday, November 5.

Located on Yas Island, the roof walk will allow guest on to the signature canopy and offer sweeping views of the island. There will also be a 400-metre zip line that will take guest through the Flying Aces rollercoaster loop. For those seeking to embark on an adventure with family and friends, there will also be a dual racing challenge onboard.

Visitors will need to buy a separate ticket on top of the general admission pass for both experiences. The roof walk experience costs Dh125, the zip line costs Dh95 or a combo experience ticket for both can be purchased for Dh175.

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi also introduced a child-friendly new Family Zone in March. The attraction is dedicated to younger visitors and features miniature, child-approved versions of four of the park's most famous rides, namely the ultra-fast Formula Rossa rollercoaster, the Turbo Tower rollercoaster, a Speedway Race and the Flying Wings ride.

To further bolster Ferrari World's child-friendly offering, the park also added a new children's menu at its on-site Italian restaurant, Mamma Rossella.

Scroll through the gallery below to see the Family Zone:

“We’re delighted to launch the new Ferrari World Abu Dhabi roof walk and zip line experiences in line with the 10th anniversary celebrations. These experiences complement the thrilling mix of activities that guests can enjoy when they visit the theme park," said Bianca Sammut, general manager of Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.

"We can’t wait for our guests to experience it all and create unforgettable memories at the Ferrari-inspired Park.”

The theme park has been certified as Go Safe by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi. The initiative aims to enforce global standards for safety and cleanliness across all tourism and retail establishments in the capital.

Labour dispute

The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.

Day 4, Abu Dhabi Test: At a glance

Moment of the day Not much was expected – on Sunday or ever – of Hasan Ali as a batsman. And yet he lit up the late overs of the Pakistan innings with a happy cameo of 29 from 25 balls. The highlight was when he launched a six right on top of the netting above the Pakistan players’ viewing area. He was out next ball.

Stat of the day – 1,358 There were 1,358 days between Haris Sohail’s previous first-class match and his Test debut for Pakistan. The lack of practice in the multi-day format did not show, though, as the left-hander made an assured half-century to guide his side through a potentially damaging collapse.

The verdict As is the fashion of Test matches in this country, the draw feels like a dead-cert, before a clatter of wickets on the fourth afternoon puts either side on red alert. With Yasir Shah finding prodigious turn now, Pakistan will be confident of bowling Sri Lanka out. Whether they have enough time to do so and chase the runs required remains to be seen.

The smuggler

Eldarir had arrived at JFK in January 2020 with three suitcases, containing goods he valued at $300, when he was directed to a search area.
Officers found 41 gold artefacts among the bags, including amulets from a funerary set which prepared the deceased for the afterlife.
Also found was a cartouche of a Ptolemaic king on a relief that was originally part of a royal building or temple. 
The largest single group of items found in Eldarir’s cases were 400 shabtis, or figurines.

Khouli conviction

Khouli smuggled items into the US by making false declarations to customs about the country of origin and value of the items.
According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he provided “false provenances which stated that [two] Egyptian antiquities were part of a collection assembled by Khouli's father in Israel in the 1960s” when in fact “Khouli acquired the Egyptian antiquities from other dealers”.
He was sentenced to one year of probation, six months of home confinement and 200 hours of community service in 2012 after admitting buying and smuggling Egyptian antiquities, including coffins, funerary boats and limestone figures.

For sale

A number of other items said to come from the collection of Ezeldeen Taha Eldarir are currently or recently for sale.
Their provenance is described in near identical terms as the British Museum shabti: bought from Salahaddin Sirmali, "authenticated and appraised" by Hossen Rashed, then imported to the US in 1948.
