Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, is the shopping and entertainment area of the UAE capital and now boasts the world’s tallest indoor climbing wall and the widest skydiving flight chamber.
Local developer Miral is responsible for the 43m wall in its Clymb venue. There are five walls in total, each with different degrees of height and difficulty so that beginners and experienced climbers all have a challenge.
The attraction cost US$100m to develop. Its skydiving flight chamber is 10m wide and 32m high. It was originally intended to open the venue a year ago, but a fire at the site delayed the work.
A spokesperson for Miral said: “Clymb Abu Dhabi is designed to present unique sporting challenges to active lifestyle enthusiasts from around the world and enhances the emirate’s position as a global tourism destination, with world-class attractions for all travellers."
