The experience
Twelve immersive rooms of light, sound and mirrors, tucked inside Wafi City.
AYA Universe is a sequence of twelve installations built around light, sound and reflection rather than a conventional gallery — a glowing forest that shifts through a six-minute cycle, infinity pools that react to music, a mirrored room of suspended moons, and a waterfall built to appear to flow upward.
Celestia, Dubai’s largest immersive ball pit, is the room most guests photograph, and staff throughout are on hand to take pictures in each space rather than leaving guests to work a tripod. A House of Hype combined pass is available for guests who also want Dubai Mall’s sister attraction on the same visit.
It rewards a slower pace than a typical hour-long stop — several rooms are worth a second pass once the first sequence of visitors has moved on, and the space is well suited to couples, families and anyone travelling with children.
