Aquarabia is now in soft opening - here's how to be among the first to visit
Qiddiya City’s landmark water theme park enters its live preview phase ahead of its imminent grand opening announcement
When news broke earlier this year that Aquarabia – the centrepiece water theme park at Qiddiya City – would open in March, it quickly became one of the most talked-about attractions in Saudi Arabia.
And now the wait is over… well, almost.
Aquarabia has officially begun its soft opening phase, welcoming a select group of guests ahead of its much-anticipated grand launch. The preview marks a major milestone for the park and offers a rare chance to experience the massive new attraction before it opens to the wider public.

The exciting part? You could be one of the lucky few to step inside and get a sneak peek.
Here’s how you could be among the first through Aquarabia gates.
Visitors heading to Six Flags Qiddiya City during this period will automatically be entered into a raffle draw to win tickets to Aquarabia’s special preview. There’s no registration and no extra cost involved.
All you have to do is visit Six Flags Qiddiya City between now and Saturday March 28 to be in with a chance.
Those selected will receive exclusive access to Aquarabia before its official opening, giving them the chance to explore one of the most remarkable water parks in the region ahead of others.
During the soft opening, Aquarabia will be fully operational, with every ride functioning, queues in place, and all outlets serving guests. The preview allows the park to fine-tune the experience while offering early visitors a taste of what’s to come.
And when it opens, Aquarabia is set to become the largest water theme park in the Middle East. Expect a wide range of attractions, from record-breaking slides and high-speed water coasters to extensive surf pools and family-friendly play areas.
Designed as a full-day destination, guests will find 24 food and beverage outlets spread across the park, offering everything from quick bites to more substantial dining options between rides.
Aquarabia’s debut is also a significant milestone for Qiddiya City itself. Alongside Six Flags Qiddiya City, which welcomed its first visitors in December 2025, the water park completes the destination’s two-park entertainment hub.
When tickets officially go on sale, visitors will be able to choose from a variety of options.
- Single-day admission: Adult and child pricing for the full Aquarabia experience;
- Surfing packages: Priority access and dedicated sessions at Aquarabia’s signature surf and wave attractions;
- Cabana experiences: Premium day packages with private cabana hire, dedicated attendants and exclusive zone access;
- Dual-park bundles: Combined Aquarabia and Six Flags Qiddiya City tickets for a fully integrated day across both parks.
The exact grand opening date and full ticket details for Aquarabia are expected to be announced soon, so watch this space.
