Falcons
Sculpture · Yas Mall
All ages · Outdoor · Under 1 hour · Free
Oh, I love this one. On the grass mound outside Yas Mall's north entrance stand 132 steel columns, and from six spots they line up into a falcon taking off; from everywhere else they fall apart. Walk slowly round it. It's free and takes ten minutes.
