Wild Wadi Waterpark will be relocated to the entertainment-focused island to support visitor numbers to the new resort, which will be managed by Jumeirah Group.

Dubai Holding will also develop a Marine Park – a marine life edutainment centre – that will include a theatre with a capacity of 1,000 people. Visitors will be able to interact with exotic aquatic animals and fish at the park. The expanded Wild Wadi and Marine Park will together cover 2.5 million square feet.
