Tatweer and Six Flags Announce Strategic Alliance

Tatweer, a member of Dubai Holding, announced today a strategic
alliance with US-based Six Flags Inc. (NYSE: SIX), the world's largest
theme park company, to develop thrill-driven theme parks across the Arab
world.

The highlight of the strategic alliance will be the development of Six
Flags Dubailand (R), a five million square feet multi-billion dirham theme
park within the world's largest tourism, leisure and entertainment
destination.

The first Six Flags project to be developed outside of North America,
the theme park comes as part of Tatweer's tactical contribution to Dubai
Strategic Plan 2015, which aims to develop the emirate into a leading
global hub for tourism and leisure.

Featuring its signature line-up of thrill and themed adventure rides
and attractions, Six Flags Dubailand (R) will boast world renowned
entertainment franchises such as the children's musical group Wiggles and
professional skateboarder Tony Hawk. The park's unique components will
complement Six Flags' award-winning productions and original programming,
such as Operation Spygirl, the 'Big E' Entertainment Award recipient at the
2007 IAPAA Trade Show and Convention.

Tatweer and Six Flags Dubailand (R) also will work together to
integrate their expertise to create new concepts across the region, such as
Six Flags theme parks, branded restaurants, hotels and retail outlets that
will holistically offer unique travel and vacation opportunities for
tourists, families and visitors worldwide.

For the theme park project, Six Flags will conceptualize and oversee
the master plan based on its history in that arena, which includes the
development, ownership and management of 21 parks across North America.
Groundbreaking is expected in 2009. Additionally, the Six Flags corporate
alliance division will represent Dubailand for international corporate
sponsorship opportunities.

Saeed Al Muntafiq, Executive Chairman of Tatweer, said: "The addition
of Six Flags, one of the world's most reputed leisure and entertainment
companies, to our burgeoning portfolio complements Dubailand's(R) value
proposition as an unrivalled tourism destination. It is a privilege for
Tatweer to be selected by Six Flags as its regional partner and Dubailand
(R) as the destination to host the first Six Flags theme park outside of
North America."

Six Flags Dubailand (R) will join the elite repertoire of Tatweer-owned
world class projects at Dubailand (R) destination such as BAWADI(R), The
Tiger Woods Dubai, Universal Studios Dubailand (R), DreamWorks Animation
Park, Hit Entertainment and Global Village.

Al Muntafiq added: "The new alliance with yet another global leisure
and entertainment leader such as Six Flags consolidates Tatweer's
commitment to becoming a leading global tourism, leisure and entertainment
investor, and a key contributor to the tourism objectives of Dubai
Strategic Plan 2015."

Mark Shapiro, President and CEO of Six Flags, said: "This is a historic
day for our company. Expanding Six Flags beyond our current North American
borders validates the growing strength and momentum of our brand. Through
this partnership with Tatweer, we now have the opportunity to create a
world-class theme park destination that will allow guests from around the
globe to experience Six Flags' unique combination of thrills and
entertainment."
