Saudi Arabia's latest tourist attraction is set to recreate locations from the original Japanese anime series and feature more than 30 themed rides.
Saudi Arabia is set to become home to the first-ever Dragon Ball Z theme park — a 5.3 million square foot entertainment venue announced as part of the kingdom's huge Qiddiya project.
Tourism reached a record for the kingdom in 2023 at 106 million, according to its tourism ministry — an increase of 56% from 2019. The latest tourist attraction announced by the kingdom will feature seven different areas recreating locations from the original Japanese anime television series, more than 30 themed rides, and a number of hotels and restaurants, according to the press release.
Video games and the popular Japanese genre of anime have become targets for significant investment from the kingdom — Japan-based manga producer Toei Animation and MiSK, a foundation of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, are also collaborating to create anime movies.
