-The largest water game in the world ever.
Adventures for the whole family
The park will feature 22 water rides and experiences suitable for adults and children, including a snorkeling trip in special vehicles, and a water sports area such as rafting and kayaking. It will also feature the Kingdom's first dedicated surfing pool.
A design inspired by the nature of Qiddiya
The designs are inspired by ancient desert springs and local wildlife, giving visitors the feeling of an immersive adventure filled with visual details unfamiliar to any other water park.
Simultaneous opening with Six Flags
Aquaria and Six Flags will open together as Qiddiya's first two entertainment destinations by 2025, offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy a fully integrated experience that combines water rides and world-class adventures.
