A development of extraordinary vision, Dubailand is
conceived on a phenomenal scale. It will be the most
ambitious tourism, leisure and entertainment destination
ever created, and home to some of the world’s premier and
unique attractions.
Spanning three billion square feet between Dubai
International Airport and the newly proposed Jebel Ali
Airport, Dubailand will comprise 45 distinct projects
consisting of six themed worlds; each meticulously planned
to create a varied tourist destination of epic proportions.
At full bloom, the Dh18 billion plus 'Dubailand' project
will encompass over 45 leisure, entertainment and tourist
facilities. The initial spadework on the project site, which
will eventually cover 3 billion square feet, has already
started on the Emirates Ring Road. Dubailand has been
designed to appeal to the widest tourist segments across
genders, age groups, world regions and activity preferences.
It is expected to employ 300,000 people and attract 200,000
visitors a day. Dubailand will incorporate a critical mass
of attractions, an endless mix of day and night activities
and a variety of accommodations to encourage longer visits
and overnight stays.
Dubailand is the latest in a series of successfully
executed projects which have confirmed Dubai’s position as a
global commercial hub, with central access to a neighboring
region of 1.5 billion people and a combined GDP of USD 1.1
trillion. Arguably the Emirates boldest project to date,
Dubailand is being developed in a country that has
demonstrated time and again its capability to conceptualize
and implement large-scale projects successfully
Of the five theme worlds
that will form Dubailand, the
'Attraction and Experience World' is expected to be
the largest at a cost of around Dh 6.8 billion. This
component will feature 14 projects including theme parks,
water parks, roller coasters, and adventure. Its emphasis is
on the themed offerings targeted at a broader international
and regional audience. It will spread over 145 million
square feet:
In terms of scale, this will
be followed by the
'Eco Tourism World'
- billed as offering desert life with the ultimate luxury,
with a projected investment of Dh4.2 billion. Its vast
number of exquisite and unique offerings will span over 806
million square feet and will encourage long stays and repeat
visits.
The 'Themed Leisure and Vacation
World' is a relaxing world of spas, health and
well-being retreats designed to respond to the growing
international demand for ultimate relaxation and total body
wellness. Offering unique and creative concepts, visitors
will have a chance to experience faraway locales without
leaving Dubailand.
The 'Sports and
Outdoor World' which will feature 5 projects, has
already won commitments from local investors to put up
world-class sporting facilities including rugby, cricket and
other extreme sport activities. Overall investments into
this component of Dubailand could be in excess of Dh2.5
billion:
The
'Retail and Entertainment World'
will sit on 45
million square feet of land. Consisting of 5 exciting
projects, housing the Mall of Arabia as well as other
exciting retail shopping venues and the virtual game world
that is a futuristic centre for interactive computer based
and virtual reality games, this area is a sure crowd
pleaser.
And on a six million square feet area, the
'Downtown' concept will feature
a mix of retail, commercial and entertainment avenues. The
projected investment will be Dh2.2 billion and will feature
The Mall of Arabia, The Restless Planet and Wadi Walk. This
is a solid opportunity for investors, with the in-depth
research and analysis on which the project's concept and
development is based.
At
Downtown, the heart of this
unprecedented development, the City of Arabia will set the
standard in urban development. Comprising key feature
developments, this vibrant community will attract tourists
from around the world and will be an exclusive home to
Dubai's growing population. Some of the most exciting
features of City of Arabia are:-
Restless Planet and other Theme Parks:
This is a place where no man has gone before, back to
prehistoric times amid a collection of themed rides and
natural exhibits so real you'll think you're living amongst
the dinosaurs. Combining good science and thrilling
entertainment, the Restless Planet provides accurate and
authoritative knowledge of the Jurassic Age. The surrounding
theme parks are filled with exiting rides, family fun and
entertainment.
Mall
of Arabia
More than just a mall, it's a unique lifestyle experience in
19 million square feet with its vast ancient Middle Eastern
exterior housing, the best of international fashion brands,
and a state-of-the-art stage for theatrical performances, a
15-screen cinema, bowling alley, and world class spa.
Imaging jumping into a water taxi just outside your door and
being transported, via the canal all the way inside the
mall!
