Mubadala announces transformation of Al Maryah Island’s waterfront into a vibrant hub of water shows, dining, and discovery

Events
31 July 2025
Abu Dhabi, UAE

Al Maryah Island is set to welcome a striking new addition to its lifestyle and leisure offering, as work begins on an all-new waterfront experience designed to inspire and delight.

At the heart of the transformation will be a glowing 30-metre sphere, encircled by over 1,000 AI-powered jets of water soaring up to 75 metres in the air. Set within the bay and choreographed to music by acclaimed composer Ramin Djawadi, the show is being brought to life by WET—the world’s leading water feature designers.

Alongside the immersive water display, the development will introduce:

  • A sea boardwalk extension offering closer views and scenic strolls
  • A shaded outdoor cooling system for year-round comfort
  • Lively new dining zones and event-ready public spaces

The Al Maryah Waterfront is set to become a new focal point for residents and visitors alike—an open-air destination for entertainment, relaxation, and unforgettable moments by the water.
