Beat the Dubai Heat at the World's Largest Indoor Theme Park


Dubai Parks and Resorts isn't the only theme park destination to look forward to this year.

A long time in the making now, IMG Worlds of Adventure is finally opening its doors to the public in four months with 20 rides and attractions.

August 15 will see the family-friendly leisure area - spanning over 1.5 million square feet - launch as the planet's largest indoor theme park.

It means the sweltering summer heat won't be a deterrent for visiting thanks to its temperature-controlled hub which can cater for up to 30,000 people each day.

There will be 25 retail stores and 28 food and beverage outlets at the $1billion park.

IMG expects 4.5 million people to come through its doors in the first full year of operation (2017), and tickets will cost AED300 for adults and AED250 for kids.

This is what's inside the four zones:
