There could be a Harry Potter theme park coming to Abu Dhabi

If a Harry Potter exhibition in Abu Dhabi wasn’t enough, there could be a massive theme park expansion coming through!

Miral is working towards securing a contract to build a Harry Potter-themed expansion at Warner Bros World Yas Island.

With Yas Waterworld recently opening its expansion to the public, rumours are now rife that this magical spot is coming to town.

MEED reported that the tender for an estimated AED 2bn-AED 3bn ($545m-$816m) main construction works has been issued to contractors. The bids are reportedly due in July.

The Warner Bros World phase two expansion includes an expansion of 40,000 sqm. This includes a Harry Potter-themed zone with three new rides, retail, and food and beverage outlets.

The enabling works on the project have begun and are being undertaken by the local firm NSCC International. 

This will mark the first Harry Potter attraction of this scale in Abu Dhabi and the Middle East. It will also be the world’s sixth Harry Potter-themed park. The others are in Florida and California in the US, Beijing in China, Osaka in Japan and Leavesden in the UK.

Just earlier this year, the Disneyland Abu Dhabi theme park had residents hyped. And if this comes through, we can’t wait for the magical times ahead!
