With Abu Dhabi playing a pivotal role in Furious 7, it is understandable why the film did so well at cinemas in the UAE – and why so many fans are looking forward to watching it again. And they will be able to do that from tomorrow, when it is released on home video.

The DVD will not only offer viewers a chance to watch the movie’s outrageous stunts in slow motion and play the “how did they do that?” game, but it will help them learn more about the emirate. Abu Dhabi’s modern skyline, the magnificent Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the turquoise sea and the vast desert all figure prominently in the film, which has about 30 minutes of action taking place in and around the capital.

The exposure that Furious 7 continues to give the emirate is enormous, and when the Abu Dhabi desert hits the big screen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens in December, the sky will be the limit.
