As far as I am aware there are no buses etc you need to make your own arrangements so either hire a car or book a car and driver. It is chaotic at the circuit and there are usually a lot of taxis vying for business to transfer back to Dubai but you have to be careful as they are looking to charge a lot to do so. If you are staying in a hotel in…[Read more]

Last time I went, sitting in the West Grandstand, there was actually an area where you could take pics from without bothering other fans. So you didn’t have to get all your shots from your seat. I don’t know if this exists in the Marina Grandstand, but I’d be quite surprised if it doesn’t.
Have a good time.

Last time I visited and sat in the West Stand I took my DSLR with a 300mm lens. Didn’t have any problems at all. This weekend I am trying the South Stand, and will be taking my 70-210mm lens.

Hi,

I know this has been posted a few years back, however, I also understand rules change from time to time. I wanted to know if DSLR cameras are allowed inside Yas Marina Circuit during the F1? I know for a fact they are not allowed for the after-race concerts. I will be in the Al-Dhiyafa Suite West Grandstand and was hoping to get some good…[Read more]
