AYA Universe Dubai
A walk-through world of light, sound and digital art — a series of immersive rooms that feel like stepping into another universe.
About AYA Universe Dubai
AYA Universe is an immersive digital art experience at Wafi City, close to Dubai Creek and Oud Metha. You walk through a series of themed zones where light, projection, mirrors and sound make the rooms around you change and move.
It is a relaxed, walk-at-your-own-pace visit that takes about one to two hours. Children love the interactive rooms, and it is one of the most photogenic indoor places in the city.
Because it is close to the centre, it is easy to combine with a walk through Wafi Mall, the Egyptian-style Raffles hotel area or an evening abra ride on Dubai Creek.
