Abu Dhabi's newly revamped Yas Waterworld will unveil the UAE’s tallest waterslide offering a plunge from over 40 metres, when it officially open its doors to the public on April 4.

Matamir’s Drop will allow guests to experience freefall and an 233-metre slide run.

“With eleven new slides and attractions, we are enhancing the park’s offering with fresh thrills and immersive adventures for guests of all ages," added Jonathan Brown, Chief Portfolio Officer at Miral.

The new additions will bring the total number of in-park experiences to more than 70.

The expansion marks the next stage of the waterpark’s Lost City theming expansion, building on Yas Waterworld’s story of The Legend of The Lost Pearl.

There's the Sahel Matamir, a freefall tube racer that launches riders through bursts of speed and zero-gravity moments, and Matamir Loop, a high-speed body slide built for rapid descents. Meanwhile, Matamir Twist delivers a ride combining fast drops with immersive lighting effects, while Matamir Splash offers riders a fun, side-by-side race.

Guests will also be treated to a spacious leisure pool area - Sarab that offers a relaxing family-friendly environment, while Al Afda invites visitors to take the leap from a jump platform into waters below.
