Disney to open theme park in the Middle East

  Disney to open theme park –

Where is it happening?

   Disney has announced that it will build its first-ever theme park in the Middle East, and it’s
going to be in Abu Dhabi on Yas Island.

• They’re teaming up with a local company called Miral, which already runs places like Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World.

• Miral will handle the construction and funding.

• Disney will focus on the creative design and how everything runs.

• Disney won’t invest money directly but will earn from royalties.

What will the park be like?

    Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, said the park will be “authentically Disney but also feel truly
Emirati.”
    That means:

• You’ll see your favorite Disney characters and stories, but with a local touch inspired by UAE’s culture, architecture, and environment.

• It’ll have themed hotels, restaurants, shops, and cool new rides using advanced technology.

When will it open?

• The design phase will take about 1.5 to 2 years.

• After that, construction will begin.

• The park is expected to open in around 5 years.

Why Abu Dhabi?

• This is part of Disney’s big expansion plan — they’re investing $60 billion to grow their theme park business.

• Abu Dhabi is a great choice because:

  • It’s easy to travel to from many countries.

  • It has a good visa system.

  • It’s becoming a major travel and entertainment hub.

   Final thoughts

   This new park will be a mix of Disney magic and UAE culture. It’s a big move for Disney and
a great opportunity for Abu Dhabi to become a global entertainment hotspot.
   It’s something families across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe can look forward
to!
