World’s second giant sphere to be built in Abu Dhabi


Full story

Las Vegas’ giant sphere will soon no longer be one of a kind. A second one is in the works for Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

Under a newly announced deal, Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism said it will pay a franchise fee to Sphere Entertainment to build the second location using its designs.

Abu Dhabi’s government will pay to build the sphere and cover annual fees to the company for “creative and artistic content.”

The government did not say where exactly in Abu Dhabi the sphere will be built or when – nor how much it’ll cost.

The sphere in the heart of Vegas, which opened in 2023, cost $2.3 billion to build.
