Customer Reviews

информацию об этом месте я узнала заранее, из интернета, саму поездку мне организовал гид моего туроператопаFUN&SUN. Магия света, цвета ,музыки и бесконечности пространства произвели на меня огромное впечатление. Желаю всем испытать потрясающие эмоции. Обязательно приду ещё раз. Спасибо создателям этого Действа!
This place is creative and authentic. Each room is purely designed with beautiful designs. This visit is a 10/10. And the entire place only takes about 45-50 minutes exploring it. Eva is so friendly and creative. She took a video of me and I love it so much.

It is fun and amazing. Do not miss the celestial room where there is a ball pit and the room named Outland is also nice. The other rooms are also very nice and good for clicking photos.

Good and beautiful experience Dubai is such a beautiful place and i will again travel by this country and it will great Fun 😊

I’m really trying to describe my fabulous experience through the words but I can’t… It seemed like I was in another world where I even couldn’t imagine of its existence… Speechless I am and my mind is faded in the AYA universe…😭

Awesome Unique Experience. Strangely few people are aware of this wonderful must todo in Dubai. Was so touched when we left two mobiles at shoe rack while entering ' The Celestial ' section and when one of the guide therein followed us and gave our mobile (appreciate his gesture) and another mobile too was safely kept at security which we collected conveniently by following the simple identification and declaration procedure. So True! At Dubai everyone and everything is Safe. Thank you so much Aya Universe team.

Für uns war es ein wunderschöner Erlebniss, mit sehr netten Mitarbeiter, sehr interessant und schön gestaltet-uns hat es sehr gut gefallen

Attended as a family with adult children. The light shows, colours and use of mirrors reflecting the lights was spectacular. Makes you feel very centred and relaxed providing you are not surrounded by young families. Personally believe the experience is lost on younger children although the House of Hype more suitable for younger families. We attended both on the same day and AYA was my preference. The whole AYA experience is approx 1 hr and 10 mins.
