DreamWorks to set up theme park in Dubai
Tatweer said the 46.5-hectare DreamWorks Animation theme park would be located in Dubailand, billed as the biggest tourism, leisure and entertainment complex in the world.
Tatweer did not say how much the theme park would cost other than it was a "multi-billion dirham investment".
It said the two companies would also work together to develop Dreamworks Animation themed restaurants, hotels and retail outlets in the region.
DreamWorks Animation is just the latest US studio to announce a tie-up the region.
Warner Bros Entertainment said in September it would set up a film and video game production firm with Abu Dhabi-based Aldar Properties and Abu Dhabi Media Company, as well as developing a theme park, hotel and cinemas in the emirate.
And in May Tatweer announced it would build a Universal Studios theme park in Dubailand as part of a multi-use Universal City development at a cost of 8 billion dirhams ($2.2 billion).
Tatweer, part of conglomerate Dubai Holding, is the owner and lead developer of Dubailand, a 279-square kilometer leisure and tourism project that includes developments such as Dubai Sports City, Motor City, Falcon City and Dubai Heritage Vision.
