Abu Dhabi has a range of openings for this year including attractions and hotels. Here’s a round up of what’s in store.

 

Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi 
Miral – the developer behind Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, which will open on Yas Island in 2018 – has revealed that the $1 billion dollar theme park will be made up of six immersive worlds.

The DC Comics universe will comprise two of the six worlds, with Metropolis and Gotham City, the homes of Superman and Batman respectively, designed to draw fans of the super hero franchises.

The next worlds, Cartoon Junction and Dynamite Gulch, will bring together Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo and other famous characters from Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera, while fans of the Flintstones can visit the prehistoric world of Bedrock.

The final world will be Warner Bros. Plaza, a recreation of Hollywood in its ‘Golden Age’, when many of these seminal characters were first brought to life.

In total, the park will span 1.65 million square feet and offer 29 rides, shows and attractions. It will be the third Miral theme park to open on Yas Island, joining Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and Yas Waterworld.

 

Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece Salvator Mundi to go on show at Louvre Abu Dhabi

Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece Salvator Mundi will go on show at the Louvre Abu Dhabi museum with the date yet to be announced. The work, hailed as one of the greatest artistic rediscoveries of the last 100 years, will go on display alongside another da Vinci masterpiece, La Belle Ferronnière, which is currently on loan from musée du Louvre. ‘From One Louvre to Another: Opening a Museum for Everyone’, the first special exhibition at Louvre Abu Dhabi, opened in December 2017 and will run until 7 April 2018.

 

Miral CLYMB project on Yas Island


Miral has announced its latest project, CLYMB, which will bring the world’s widest flight chamber and tallest indoor climbing wall to Abu Dhabi in 2018.

Visitors to the flight chamber will be able to mimic the experience of skydiving within a width of 9.75 metres (32 feet), making it the world’s widest.

CLYMB will also feature the world’s tallest indoor climbing wall at a height of 43 meters.
