Those Who Grew Up In Dubai Will Remember This Iconic Indoor Arcade

Avatar

Brace yourselves, before IMG World and Ferrari World there was ‘Sindbad’s Wonderland’.

If you’re someone who was born and bought up in Dubai then this video will make you feel nostalgic af.

At that time it was a small space dedicated for family entertainment only

If you were someone growing up in Dubai during the ’90s then you’re probably well aware of ‘Sindbad’s Wonderland’, Dubai’s very first gaming centre. The video gives all kinds of feels of a time that was so basic yet happening.

It was everyone’s go to place back then

It was located in a mall called Al-Ghurair centre, where all the Dubai kids would hang out on weekends.

It was definitely considered to be the ‘cool’ spot to chill at back then.

It opened up in 1980 and had all kinds of arcade games and rides, it was Dubai’s very first entertainment centre which now has been replaced by next level theme parks and amusement parks making Dubai the ultimate destination.
