After the recent turn of events in the final season of Stranger Things, actress Millie Bobby Brown sure deserves a well-earned holiday, and she’s chosen Yas Island Abu Dhabi for the ultimate escape.
The campaign episode opens with Millie floating on a pool inflatable, joking that she’s “upside down once again,” but this time in a new setting: the sun-drenched, action-packed escape of Yas Island. Her break from Hawkins takes a nostalgic twist when she spots an 80s-style bicycle, an Easter egg fans will instantly recognise from the show.
What begins as a carefree getaway quickly turns into an adrenaline-fuelled adventure as she swaps rifts and Demogorgons for all things fast, crazy, and sunshine-filled. Viewers follow her across Yas Island’s famous attractions - from Ferrari World and Yas Marina Circuit, to W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island and Yas Beach.
But just as her holiday settles into bliss, a walkie-talkie suddenly appears. Static. Crackle. Then a chilling alert breaks through: “Code Red.”
In an instant, Millie’s sunny escape takes an unexpected turn, hinting that something bigger is unfolding. The mystery will unravel across upcoming episodes filmed around Yas Island’s most iconic locations.
“Filming on Yas Island has been such an amazing experience for me. From the theme parks to the incredible attractions, there is so much to see and do," Millie Bobby Brown said.
"It is the perfect setting to bring Stranger Things to life in our videos, and I’m thrilled that fans in Abu Dhabi and across the region will get to enjoy both the excitement of Yas Island and the mystery of Hawkins. It has been so special to be here and share in all the fun.”
Stay tuned as this unfolding story continues; fans can follow Millie’s adventures in the coming episodes on Yas Island’s official social media channels.

How the UAE gratuity payment is calculated now
Employees leaving an organisation are entitled to an end-of-service gratuity after completing at least one year of service.
The tenure is calculated on the number of days worked and does not include lengthy leave periods, such as a sabbatical. If you have worked for a company between one and five years, you are paid 21 days of pay based on your final basic salary. After five years, however, you are entitled to 30 days of pay. The total lump sum you receive is based on the duration of your employment.
1. For those who have worked between one and five years, on a basic salary of Dh10,000 (calculation based on 30 days):
a. Dh10,000 ÷ 30 = Dh333.33. Your daily wage is Dh333.33
b. Dh333.33 x 21 = Dh7,000. So 21 days salary equates to Dh7,000 in gratuity entitlement for each year of service. Multiply this figure for every year of service up to five years.
2. For those who have worked more than five years
c. 333.33 x 30 = Dh10,000. So 30 days’ salary is Dh10,000 in gratuity entitlement for each year of service.
Note: The maximum figure cannot exceed two years total salary figure.

Day 1, Dubai Test: At a glance
Moment of the day Sadeera Samarawickrama set pulses racing with his strokeplay on his introduction to Test cricket. It reached a feverish peak when he stepped down the wicket and launched Yasir Shah, who many regard as the world’s leading spinner, back over his head for six. No matter that he was out soon after: it felt as though the future had arrived.
Stat of the day - 5 The last time Sri Lanka played a Test in Dubai – they won here in 2013 – they had four players in their XI who were known as wicketkeepers. This time they have gone one better. Each of Dinesh Chandimal, Kaushal Silva, Samarawickrama, Kusal Mendis, and Niroshan Dickwella – the nominated gloveman here – can keep wicket.
The verdict Sri Lanka want to make history by becoming the first team to beat Pakistan in a full Test series in the UAE. They could not have made a better start, first by winning the toss, then by scoring freely on an easy-paced pitch. The fact Yasir Shah found some turn on Day 1, too, will have interested their own spin bowlers.
