This weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix means the chance to add another stamp to your Fan Passport!

Our latest design, presented by BYLT Premium Basics, draws inspiration from Abu Dhabi's rich cultural heritage, as well as its architectural and artistic traditions.

The central motif resembles a traditional lantern — a symbol deeply rooted in Islamic culture and often associated with warmth, hospitality, and the sacredness of light.

Lanterns are particularly significant during celebrations like Ramadan, when they illuminate homes, mosques and streets, creating a sense of community and spirituality.

The warm orange and cream colour palette further evokes the hues of the desert landscape, reflecting Abu Dhabi’s natural environment and its harmony with cultural aesthetics.

Meanwhile, the stylised and approachable design also reflects Abu Dhabi’s modern identity as a blend of tradition and innovation.

The lantern's shape nods to the city’s architectural achievements, such as its intricately designed mosques and cultural landmarks, which preserve heritage while embracing contemporary design.

By combining these elements, the stamp celebrates Abu Dhabi as a place where tradition and modernity coexist beautifully — highlighting its role as a cultural and artistic hub in the region.
