What’s On finds out more about the luxury Jumeirah at Etihad Towers Abu Dhabi ‘Fast and Luxurious’ package to celebrate Furious 7 release.


Want to know one of the fastest way to get rid of Dhs100,000? Why not check out this over-the-top hotel stay inspired by the Hollywood film, Furious 7, the latest in the Fast And The Furious franchise.

Starring action stars Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham and the late Paul Walker, the seventh instalment of the petrol-head series shot a portion of the film in the UAE last year. As well as the Empty Quarter, Corniche and Emirates Palace, the five-star hotel Jumeirah at Etihad Towers was featured heavily, most notably in a much-hyped gravity-defying car stunt.

And now the hotel in Abu Dhabi is offering fans a two-night stay with helicopter and driving experiences. Guests will receive limousine pick up from the airport before checking into the Royal Etihad Suite that occupies the entire 60th floor. Afterwards they will be able to explore the capital city in a McLaren, Ferrari or Lamborghini. The car will be available for private use throughout the stay.

Then hop on board for a 45-minute helicopter aerial tour of the city. Other experiences included in the package will see guests test out their racing skills on the Formula 1 track on Yas Island with an Aston Martin GT4 racing experience at Yas Marina Circuit.

The second evening will see them eat their way through a five-course dinner at Ray’s Grill on the 63rd floor then for chilled bubbly or two cigars at Ray’s Bar.
