Middle East in Focus: Saudi Arabia's First Integrated Water Park Complex, CALA, Set for Grand Opening, Poised to Lead New Leisure Trends

The CALA Water Park complex, located in Hafar Al-Batin, Saudi Arabia, spans a total area of 160,000 square meters, with the water park itself covering 50,000 square meters. It stands as Eastern Saudi Arabia's largest water park and, with its unique integrated tourism concept, is the nation's first comprehensive resort destination to seamlessly blend amusement, entertainment, leisure, commerce, and sightseeing.

As Saudi Arabia's premier water park complex, CALA distinguishes itself with forward-thinking design and cutting-edge facilities. It boasts a diverse array of themed attractions, each promising high appeal, including the ultimate experience-delivering Space-Time Shuttle Slide and the adventure-packed Waterfall Drifting Slide, among numerous other popular water amusement projects. Notably, the Flying Fox, Water Roller Coaster, Canyon Rafting Slide, and an imposing 28-meter High-Speed Slide are all being introduced to Saudi Arabia for the first time, guaranteeing an unprecedented experience for local visitors.

Haishan Amusement has been comprehensively involved in the project's planning and design, landscape solutions, and equipment manufacturing and installation services. Currently, all park equipment has been fully installed and is undergoing commissioning, with a grand opening anticipated in June.

The completion of CALA marks a significant new milestone in the diversification of Saudi Arabia's tourism industry. The project not only addresses the absence of large-scale water parks in the country but also pioneers a new paradigm for local leisure and entertainment, centered on its "integrated tourism" concept and blending local culture with modern entertainment elements.

In the future, CALA Water Park is expected to attract tourists from across the globe, thereby further advancing the economic transformation goals for the tourism sector as outlined in Saudi Vision 2030.
