$750 Billion Desert ‘Giga’ Waterpark Unleashes World-Class Wave Pool in Saudi Arabia (Video)

Per a press release, Endless Surf announced:

“Aquarabia is a cornerstone of Qiddiya City — a $750 billion destination designed to become the Kingdom’s capital of entertainment, sports, and culture. As Saudi Arabia’s first water theme park of its kind, Aquarabia sets a new benchmark for scale and ambition in the region, combining a record-setting collection of rides, slides, and immersive attractions.

“Delivered by WhiteWater, Endless Surf’s parent company and a global leader in aquatic attractions, the park features 22 rides & experiences, multiple world-record attractions, and a footprint of approximately 250,000 square meters — making it one of the most ambitious waterparks ever built. Within this context, surf is not an addition, but a key anchor.”

This also isn’t the first time that Endless Surf has lent their wave-making technology to this region of the world. Recently, they also dropped the first-look at Adrena, on the Red Sea, also in Saudi Arabia. “Swell has arrived in an unlikely destination,” they wrote.

As for the new pool at Aquarabia, the waterpark is being called a “giga-project” – a term used to describe large-scale operations costing over a billion dollars.

“This world-class project shows how far surfing can evolve beyond its traditional boundaries,” said Cheyne Magnusson, Surf Design and Operations Manager at Endless Surf. “You’re bringing a true surf experience to places with no existing surf culture, which opens the door for entirely new audiences. It makes surfing more accessible, more consistent, and ultimately more global than it’s ever been before.”

The grand opening for Aquarabia was April 23rd, 2026 – so, if you want to get tubed in one of the world’s most unlikely surf destinations, you can book now.

Sessions go for $100 bucks a pop.
