Al Noor Island provides a unique blend of picturesque nature, art and entertainment in one destination. The Island hosts the Butterfly House, which hosts as many as 500 exotic butterflies from East Asian countries, and Literature Pavilion for intellectuals and book lovers. Al Noor Island’s design reflects the art styles of a world-renowned designer Andre Heller, who designed the Swarovski Crystal Worlds (Swarovski Kristallwelten) Museum.
Al Montazah Amusement and Water Park consists of two main sections; the Water Park which offers world-class facilities and water rides, and the Amusement Park that offers a variety of electronic games, adventures and many more facilities.
