Dubai tourism and theme park reopening

Overview

Dubai Parks and Resorts announced a scheduled reopening for October 7, 2026, following a closure that began at the onset of the Gulf war. The parks, which include MOTIONGATE Dubai, Real Madrid World, LEGOLAND Dubai Resort, and The World of Riverland, had remained closed due to security concerns involving drone intercepts and extreme summer heat.

As the outdoor season progresses into mid-October, Dubai is expanding its tourism offerings. In addition to the reopening of the major theme parks, Dubai Safari Park is launching its eighth season on October 12 with the theme ‘Live it Wild’. Furthermore, Hatta Resorts and Wadi Hab Resort are entering their ninth season, introducing new accommodation options such as the Caravan Hatta by Our Habitas.
