Major investments on Yas Island
Miral is investing in projects of over AED 6 billion.
Miral, Abu Dhabi’s creator of globally-recognized destinations, is investing AED 6.2 billion in Yas Island. Having achieved 28 million visits in 2018, Yas Island was recently named the Middle East’s Leading Tourism Development Project at the World Travel Awards Middle East.
New projects are in development to continue the growth of Yas Island as an entertainment, leisure and business destination. Among the coming attractions are:
- CLYMB – a sports facility that will feature the world’s widest indoor skydiving flight chamber and the highest indoor climbing wall.
- SeaWorld Abu Dhabi – a next-generation marine-life theme park which will also include the UAE’s first dedicated R4 marine research, rescue and rehabilitation and release center.
- Yas Bay – a waterfront residential community with Yas Bay Arena and numerous retail and entertainment outlets.
