The growing list of attractions on Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island is set to include the world’s tallest indoor climbing wall and its widest skydiving chamber.

Developer Miral is planning to open the US$100 million ‘Clymb’ attractyion, at a location next to Yas Mall, in 2018. Work is already under way, with the project 35% complete as of the beginning of this month.

Located in a giant futuristic multi-sided diagonal cube structure, the skydiving chamber will be 9.75 metres wide and the climbing venue’s highest wall will have a height of 43 metres.

Miral Chief Executive Mohammed Al Zaabi explained that the new attraction is part of the commitment "to develop and create leading destinations with the highest global standards on Yas Island that offer unique immersive and exciting experiences to everyone, as well as contribute to the development of the tourism sector in Abu Dhabi, and the UAE as a whole.”

Clymb will join existing Yas Island attractions Ferrari World and Yas Waterworld and will follow future attractions such as the Warner Bros. theme park, which are all part of the vision to turn Yas Island into a top global destination attracting 48 million visits a year by 2022.
