Miral, Abu Dhabi's leading creator of immersive destinations and experiences, will be investing more than Dh12 billion across Yas Island over the next five years.

The investment will support a pipeline of new developments alongside expansions and enhancements to existing attractions, reinforcing Miral’s commitment to Abu Dhabi’s Tourism Strategy 2030 and further strengthening Yas Island’s position as a leading global destination for leisure and entertainment.

This next phase of development reflects a clear focus on expanding Yas Island’s existing world-class theme parks and attractions, as well as introducing new immersive rides and experiences, that respond to evolving visitor expectations.

The investment will also grow the island's hospitality offering, adding new hotel rooms and elevating its accommodation portfolio.

His Excellency Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of Miral, said, "This investment reflects our commitment to Abu Dhabi's long-term vision and our ambition to continue shaping one of the world’s most dynamic tourism destinations.

"Yas Island has become a global success story, demonstrating how world class experiences contribute to economic growth, enhance quality of life, and strengthen Abu Dhabi’s appeal to audiences from around the world.

Over the next five years, this investment will build on that momentum, introducing new experiences and expanding our hospitality and leisure offering to meet our evolving visitor expectations.

"We remain focused on creating lasting value for residents, visitors and future generations, while contributing to the emirate’s sustainable growth and diversification ambitions.”

The investment of more than Dh12 billion investment, separate from the previously announced Disney project, marks an important step in shaping the long-term growth of Yas Island.

These projects will also support job creation and skills development within the tourism sector.
