EXPERIENCES AT AYA
Every zone in AYA at Wafi Mall offers a different experience. You can create motion or sense the momentum around you, roam meadows filled with blooming lights and dance with the galaxies. Lay back and watch the cosmic motion overhead, or catch a waterfall in the palm of your hand.
Here are the different zones you can explore:
- Aurora responds to your touch. You can create a riot of colours that move around how you want them to.
- The Source is pulsing energy that creates explosions of light and colour – a spectrum of universal evolution.
- Harmonia creates a spectacular symphony of lights and music that makes you groove to the tunes.
- Flora allows you to experience the four seasons surrounding a mystical tree in sentient gardens.
- Tides takes you beyond the edge of reality, immersing your senses in a harmony of glitching lights and colours.
- The Falls brings reverse reality to life. What seems to be strings of pearls hanging from the ceiling are audio-responsive water droplets drifting upwards to create the illusion of choreographed rain.
- The River leads you into the infinite. Walk through it and watch your footsteps create ripples and tides across its distant depths.
- The Pool feeds The River. It senses your presence, lights up to your touch and creates the movement of light and colour that fill up The River.
- Celestia brings you storms of stars, icy interstellar showers and mesmerising displays of celestial lights that will enchant you.
- Luna is a universe that takes you beyond the stars. This mirrored portal creates the illusion of infinity in space, surrounding you with lunar bodies.
- Drift is where you can walk among the stars or lay back on them to sense the energy around you and watch the harmony of extraterrestrial lights at play.
- Outland is home to ethereal creatures that respond to your touch and movement. Meet them, interact with them or sit back and watch them do their usual routines.
- Dubai’s Biggest Immersive Ballpit is AYA’s latest addition to its world of wonders. Dive into the celestial wonders where you can explore nebulas, orbs and beyond.
