Aldar aims to finish Yas Water Park by 2013

Aldar had paraded its upcoming projects on Yas Island during Dubai’s Arabian Travel Market 2011. Future projects on the Abu Dhabi island include major retail complex Yas Mall and Yas Water Park, which are both scheduled for completion in 2013. When finished, the water park will have about 40 rides and  attractions, including scuba diving, cable water skiing and river cruises. It will cover 16.4 hectares, making it only slightly smaller than Aquaventure at Atlantis Hotel on the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.
Mohamed Al Mubarak, deputy chief executive officer and chief commercial officer of Aldar Properties told Construction Week magazine: ‘It is great to be returning to Arabian Travel Market to showcase the further developments at Yas Island and explore collaboration opportunities with the wider tourism industry. Over the past two years, a range of exciting new attractions have allowed Yas Island to establish itself as a destination catering to a diverse variety of visitors from business travellers to family leisure visitors.”
