Aquarabia is set to be the Middle East’s largest water theme park, located within the expansive Qiddiya City, approximately 45 kilometers from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This ambitious project is developed by the Qiddiya Investment Company (QIC) as part of the nation’s Vision 2030 initiative to diversify its economy and enhance tourism offerings
Aquarabia Water Theme Park
Aquarabia offers a thrilling water experience with 22 rides, sweeping slides, a lazy river, shimmering pools, and exciting aquatic sports. It also features 22 dining outlets and 7 retail stores. Whether seeking adventure or relaxation, Aquarabia is a dynamic, refreshing, and unforgettable destination.
At Aquarabia, there are eight diverse, animal-inspired zones that provide a unique blend of rich theming, beautiful natural landscapes, adventure, thrills, relaxation, and discovery. Each zone embraces key attributes and characteristics of its designated animal. It all starts at the Entry Plaza, where two beautifully sculpted Arabian Horses majestically present an elegant yet powerful welcoming message. It is in this entry area that guests will get their first good look at the massive Camel Rock Mountain, a jaw-droppingly impressive icon that serves up a multi-storied adventure. At the top of this towering rock formation, guests will find a full-service restaurant and multiple food and beverage kiosks as well as spectacular views of the park. The camel was chosen as the park’s icon for several reasons. Its association with Saudi Arabia is well known, as is the fact that it can preserve precious water in its hump. (More on water conservation later.)
