AYA Universe is a light and sound entertainment experience inside WAFI City Mall in Oud Metha, Dubai. Developed by Hyperspace, it is laid out across 12 themed zones covering 40,000 square feet, combining art, technology, and projection design to create a distinct multi-sensory walk-through.

Inside, the Aurora zone uses touch-sensitive surfaces and cosmic projections, while The Source introduces a touch-reactive dome overhead. In Drift, glittering surroundings create a floating sensation, and Outland lets you interact with animated avatars. Harmonia follows with a robotic light show set inside a mirrored room. Further zones, including Pool, River, Falls, Celestia, Flora, and Tides, each carry their own theme and lighting style, from a ceiling projection that mimics floating through time to a reverse waterfall and a glowing garden display.

Tickets can be used straight from your phone or printed at entry, and Rayna Tours' local team is on hand to help with booking questions and support before your visit.

You can continue the day at Real Madrid World Dubai and follow it with the light and sound zones of House of Hype, both nearby.

Keep the excitement going with Real Madrid World Dubai followed by the hands-on zones of House of Hype.

Inspired!

5/5

As a longtime zoo professional it was with particular interest that I visited the Dubai underwater zoo and aquarium.I probably look for a bit more than your average visitor,things like habitat suitability and design,condition of the species that live there education value,conservation message etc.Well I can say with confidence and honesty I was not disappointed.Its simply a magnificent place that you leave feeling enlightened educated and more knowledgable about the role we must play in protecting our world both above and below water levels...the team are dynamic an-energetic bunch clearly enjoying their work and so happy to engage and inform visitors with the information and knowledge,we had the pleasure of talking with Heelen Senior penguin specialist and trainer her infectious passion and ability to explain every aspect of penguin behaviour lifestyle and positive reinforcement training was Top class,don't miss this experience if your in town...
