The expansion includes eight new water slides, two jumping platforms, and a dedicated relaxation pool. The new additions contribute to expanding the range of games offered by the water park, which attracts various age groups, bringing the total number of games, experiences, and recreational facilities to over 70. Jonathan Brown, CEO of the portfolio at Miral, stated: "The expansion of Yas Waterworld, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, marks a significant milestone in our efforts to develop the entertainment offerings hosted on Yas Island. This expansion comes as Abu Dhabi continues to enhance its presence on the global tourism map, while Yas Island solidifies its position as one of the leading international destinations in adventure and entertainment." Among the new attractions is "Matahmir Drop", the tallest water slide tower in the UAE, which launches with a strong thrust from a height of over 40 meters, allowing guests to experience freefall before sliding through a 233-meter track. With the addition of eleven new slides and recreational experiences, the water park expands its offerings to provide more activities and innovative experiences suitable for all ages. Water adventure enthusiasts will also find in the new expansion "Matahmir Coast", a unique slide that propels participants through rapid thrusts and moments that simulate weightlessness. Those who prefer intense experiences can test "Matahmir Loop", a slide that takes participants on a high-speed fall experience through steep drops. For those who enjoy friendly competition, "Matahmir Splash" offers a dual racing slide track where participants start side by side to the finish line. In addition to the thrilling and adventurous water slides, the new attractions provide additional options for relaxation and rejuvenation. "Mirage Pool" offers a spacious area dedicated to relaxation in a family-friendly atmosphere, while the "Al Ghafda" jump pool invites the more daring guests to jump from the high platform into the refreshing water. The new slides and experiences represent a significant addition to the immersive world of "Yas Waterworld, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi", where elements of adventure, heritage, and innovation are integrated into a renewed water adventure experience. "Matahmir Lights" offers an experience that combines rapid descents with immersive lighting effects. Miral announced that the latest expansion of the water park "Yas Waterworld, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi" will welcome visitors starting from April 4, 2026. This is the next phase of the new expansion of "The Lost City", inspired by the water park's "Legend of the Lost Pearl" story.
