Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-
Maktoum on Wednesday opened IMG Worlds of
Adventure, the world’s biggest family and leisure
indoor park, in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates
(UAE).
With a size of 1.5 million square feet, the park can
host up to 12,000 visitors per day.
Sheikh Mohammed toured the park together with
Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince, and Shaikh
Maktoum Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
Deputy Ruler of Dubai.
“The size of the multi-billion dollars park equals 28
football fields,” the park’s CEO Lennard Otto told
Xinhua.
The park took around 36 months to complete and
was originally scheduled to receive tourists by the
end of 2014.
It was funded with $51.71 billion U.S. dollars and
private equity provided by Ilyas and Mustafa
Galadari Group.
Shaikh Mohammad pointed out the massive
development witnessed by the tourism,
entertainment and hospitality sectors.
He said that these sectors are key economic
foundations that support UAE Vision 2021 and
National Agenda, which aim to make the UAE the
region’s capital for economy, tourism and trade.
Shaikh Mohammad praised the clear and positive
contributions of national investments in supporting
the UAE’s approach for continuous economic
development.
