A travel guide to the best places to visit

Wild Wadi Water Park

Wild Wadi Water Park is a large water park that has great attractions suitable for the whole family. It has a vast array of around 30 slides, so there is something for everyone. The park has a “one thousand and one nights” theme build around the traditional folklore stories of “Juha and Sinbad the Sailor”. For children and adults it has relaxing water slides under the careful watch of abundant lifeguards that are always willing to lend a hand. But there are also attractions like wipeout for the people who wish for a surfing experience. Some of the cooler attractions of the park are slides where you sit on a swim tube and go downhill in a bobsled-like fashion. For the real thrill seekers there are attractions like the super scary Jumeirah Sceirah, which is a 120 meters long slide where you stand in a tube, and then the floor opens up as you experience a free-fall slide at 80 km/h. So it caters to both daring swimmers and relaxing swimmers.

The park is located in Jumeirah in front of the Burj Al Arab and at higher up slides offers great views of the area. Entrance to the park is free for guests of many Jumeirah hotels, so if you stay there do ask your hotel about it because you might be in luck. This water park certainly is one of our favorite places in Dubai and strongly recommended.
