About this audio guide
This guide to Yas Bay in Abu Dhabi moves from the restaurant terraces along its three-kilometre boardwalk to the tidal waters flowing beneath them, tracing how Miral carved the walkway into Yas Island's southern tip and opened it to the public in December 2021. You'll hear about the herons, foxes and crabs working the mangrove shallows just out of sight of diners, and the water taxi that has run this dock since 2022. It's worth listening at sunset, looking past the pier lights toward the dark water.
