History

[edit]

By December 2025, after The Walt Disney Company announced development of its first theme park in the Middle East with Disneyland Abu Dhabi, it was revealed that Universal Destinations & Experiences began early planning stages to build its own theme park in the Middle East, in Saudi Arabia.[1] Universal previously attempted to build a theme park in 2008, with Universal Studios Dubailand, before the project was cancelled due to the global financial crisis.[2]
