A ground-breaking development for Saudi Arabia, Aquarabia is expected to be the largest waterpark in the Middle East and is joining the Six Flags Qiddiya City development. Featuring 22 distinct water attractions and experiences, including underwater adventures, the park is designed to appeal to a wide range of tastes and highlight Saudi’s hospitality and adventurous spirit. It will feature four record-breaking rides, including: 

  • The world’s tallest water coaster
  • The tallest water slide
  • The tallest body drop slide
  • The longest mat racer

Adrenaline-seekers will love the extreme watersports on offer including cliff jumping, free solo climbing, canyoneering, kayaking and rafting. This will make it an ideal host for whitewater kayaking during the Asian Games. 

As part of the Six Flags Qiddiya City development, the two attractions form part of a larger premium amusement experience that provides intense thrill rides, family-friendly attractions, and live entertainment. Aquarabia Park and Six Flags Qiddiya City are poised to become significant players in Saudi Arabia’s growing tourism sector, drawing visitors globally and contributing to economic growth.

The latest announcement shared that over 61% of the rides have now been completed, signalling the imminent opening of these parks.
