20th Century Fox World (Dubai) was a proposed 75-acre theme park in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, licensed to Al Ahli Holding Group by 20th Century Fox Consumer Products under an agreement announced November 3, 2015 with a stated budget of 850 million dollars. It was to feature attractions themed on Fox film and television franchises including Avatar, Ice Age, Rio, Alien, Predator, The Simpsons, and Family Guy, with a planned 2018 opening. Al Ahli Group placed the project on indefinite hold in April 2018 over concerns about an oversaturated Dubai theme park market, and Disney's 2019 acquisition of 21st Century Fox, which transferred the Fox franchises to Disney, together with Disney's May 2025 announcement of a new park in Abu Dhabi, ended the project for good.
