Head to IMG Worlds of Adventure for the sunrise moment. While the park is indoors, the exterior and surrounding areas offer a chance to experience the early light. The park opens at 11 AM, so use this time to explore the perimeter or nearby public spaces as the sun rises toward the WSW.

Return to Mall of Arabia for breakfast or a late coffee once the park opens or if you decide to enter. The mall’s extensive retail and dining options provide a comfortable place to rest and refuel after the early start.
Local tip
The park opens at 11 AM, so the early morning is best for enjoying the exterior and the sunrise without needing a ticket. Check the route to the park if you are not staying nearby.
