The fantasy world of Freej Dubailand will be located in the heart of Dubailand and offer innovative rides, breathtaking attractions and fun-filled experiences. It will serve as a getaway destination for adventure lovers and leisure seekers, represented by its four main ambassadors, Um Saeed, Um Saloom, Um Allawi and Um Khammas.
