Ahead of its opening on May 23, His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, has inaugurated SeaWorld Abu Dhabi.
The newest theme park on Yas Island has been developed by Miral in partnership with SeaWorld® Parks & Entertainment.
Sheikh Khaled toured the attraction and was briefed on its facilities, which span 183,000 sqm, offering entertainment and education themed around marine life to visitors.
He also visited the Yas SeaWorld Research and Rescue – the first integrated research, rescue, rehabilitation, return and education center in the MENA region. Sheikh Khaled reviewed the centre’s programmes, which are working to conserve the Arabian Gulf’s marine wildlife, habitats and ecosystems while educating and inspiring a new generation of marine enthusiasts.
