Dubailand, Entertainment complex in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Dubailand is an entertainment complex in Dubai that brings together theme parks, water parks, and activity zones across a sprawling site. The complex divides into separate sections, each with its own focus and designed to appeal to different types of visitors.
Planning began in the early 2000s with ambitious goals, but economic difficulties brought the project to a temporary halt. After a longer pause, parts of the complex were gradually realized from the mid-2010s onward and opened to the public.
The entertainment complex integrates Middle Eastern design elements with international attractions, featuring zones dedicated to Arabian folklore and regional entertainment preferences.
The individual parks and areas sit apart from one another, so planning focused visits based on interest works well. Shuttle buses run between locations, and allowing plenty of time helps you experience each attraction without rushing.
One section of the site houses a park that centers on football and offers rides along with interactive stations related to the sport. This thematic focus on a single sport in such a format is considered a pioneering effort among amusement parks worldwide.
