Functioning as a central gateway within Dubai Parks and Resorts, Riverland offers dining, retail and entertainment for the entire family. To get to Dubai's theme parks, you have to pass through this boulevard, which is open to the public to enjoy. It is spread over four buzzing districts, each with a different theme: India Gate, French Village, Boardwalk and The Peninsula. They are all connected by a 1km long river – hence the name of the destination. Riverland regularly plays host to festivals and concerts, and is home to the largest inflatable park in the world, known as JumpX.

There are thrills, spills and rollercoasters aplenty at IMG Worlds of Adventure, one of Dubai's largest and most exciting theme parks. Covering an area of more than 28 football fields, you'll find non-stop entertainment, live shows and fun-filled rides alongside your favourite Marvel film and cartoon characters all in one air-conditioned space that's split across many themed zones.
