Rixos World Parks & Entertainment founded the park and opened in 2016, which eventually they incorporated a shopping mall and the Kingdom Hotel for expansions. Later a 111 feet tower was added. Fettah Tahmince, the chairman of Rixos said, "The Land of Legends is the first ring of the new generation entertainment destinations that we will revive. With this project, we create a new destination beyond a hotel, a theme park, shopping units and aqua parks" and Adventure Rapids was the first rollercoaster added to the park. There is also a spa, and other entertainment, within the park. On March 1, 2025, the park opened an expansion that includes a
Nickelodeon themed hotel and a "
Nickelodeon Land" area, themed to
SpongeBob SquarePants,
Paw Patrol, and
Star Trek: Prodigy. The indoor SpongeBob SquarePants section includes an installation of
SpongeBob's Crazy Carnival Ride from
