Dubai: The countdown to Dubai’s newest theme park – due to open in October – is approaching.
But you won’t have to wait that long to find out how it will look like.
Dubai Parks and Resorts have released an eight-minute guided tour on camera, taking you through all the parks rides, theatres and attractions.
Located on Shaikh Zayed Road, opposite Palm Jebel Ali, the integrated theme park covers an impressive area of 25 million square feet.
Raed Kajoor Al Nuaimi, CEO Dubai Parks and Resort, said: “We are creating the best integrated theme park destination in the world. We will have three theme parks, one waterpark, a [Polynesian themed] hotel, a retail and dining district, all in walking distance from each other.”
