Aquaria Qiddiya Opening: Ticket Prices and Official Booking Link

The Saudi capital, Riyadh, is gearing up for an exceptional entertainment event with the imminent opening of Aquaria Qiddiya, the first water park of its kind in Saudi Arabia and the largest in the Middle East.

The park will officially open its doors to visitors on Thursday, April 23, offering unique water-based entertainment experiences that combine excitement, adventure, and family-friendly activities suitable for all ages.

Saudi Vision 2030 and the establishment of Qiddiya City

The Aquaria Qiddiya project is a key component of the Qiddiya master plan, launched as one of the major projects of Saudi Vision 2030 under the auspices of the Public Investment Fund. The city aims to transform the Kingdom into a leading global tourist destination, offering unparalleled entertainment, sports, and cultural options for citizens, residents, and international tourists. This massive water park reflects the Kingdom's commitment to diversifying national income sources and developing the tourism and entertainment sector to enhance the quality of life, in line with the ambitious goals of the Vision.

The opening program features a diverse range of live shows and entertainment activities spread over three consecutive days to meet the expectations of all visitors:

• Saturday, April 25 (Splash Fest for Families): The third day is dedicated to families under the theme “Splash Fest”, which is the highlight of the opening program, offering interactive entertainment activities suitable for adults and children, with a main show on the “Wave Wadi” stage starting at 12 noon.

The economic and tourism impact of the project locally and regionally

The project will create hundreds of direct and indirect job opportunities for young Saudis in the hospitality, operations, and tourism management sectors. Regionally and internationally, the park will enhance the Kingdom's competitiveness as a leading tourist destination in the Middle East, capable of attracting millions of tourists annually seeking world-class entertainment experiences, thus supporting the national economic diversification strategy away from oil.
