Located 40 minutes from Riyadh, Qiddiya City is one of Saudi Arabia’s visionary giga-projects, spanning across entertainment, sports and culture.
Qiddiya City’s ambitious plans include a motorsports track featuring "The Blade," the world’s first cantilevered track section; Falcon’s Flight, the tallest, fastest and longest rollercoaster globally, located within Six Flags Qiddiya City; and the region’s largest water park, Aquarabia Qiddiya City.
The city is set to open in phases, with initial attractions like Six Flags and Aquarabia Water Park expected to launch in late 2025. The full development is anticipated to be completed by 2029.
Play Qiddiya City, the marketing body for the mega-development, has become a Destination Partner with the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC).
Julia Simpson, WTTC president & CEO, said, “More than just a destination, Qiddiya City is a movement redefining how people engage with tourism, leisure and cultural experiences.”
Ross McAuley, director general, Play Qiddiya City, added, “Qiddiya City is based on an idea whose time has come, offering an unparalleled blend of sports, entertainment, and culture.
“This partnership underscores our commitment to pushing boundaries, and we look forward to welcoming visitors from around the world to experience our theme parks, sporting venues, and esports and gaming district.”
