Water Theme Park in UAE
Wild Wadi Waterpark
Located in Dubai and situated in front of the stunning Burj Al Arab, Wild Wadi offers 30 rides and attractions for all the family. Wild Wadi is themed around the tale of Juha, a known character from the Arabian folklore.
BEST for: Relatively tame aqua action, but Wild Wadi is sure to up the fear-factor stakes with the opening of the new mystery ride later this year, making it perfect for adrenaline junkies.
Dreamland
One of the oldest and largest water parks in the UAE, the waterslides aren’t quite as sophisticated as some of those in Dubai, but they are a lot of fun. We highly recommend not restricting your day to the water though – check out the mini zoo where you can spot peacocks and other animals, or have a hit of tennis. We especially love the swim-up pool bar (the largest in the UAE!), that serves very reasonably-priced cocktails. It’s a bit of a drive to get to from Dubai, so we recommend staying overnight.
BEST for: Those who like a mix of relaxation and excitement.
Wadi Adventure
The newly opened Wadi Adventure is the Middle East’s first man-made facility where you can white water raft, kayak and surf. Pretty much anyone can navigate well over a kilometre of rapids by kayak or raft, but we recommend only strong swimmers give the surf pool a go.Not just a water park, there is also a climbing wall, rope course and a zip line that has incredible views of the Jebel Hafeet mountains.
BEST for: Plenty of thrills on and off the water for extreme fun seekers.
Aquaventure
The largest water-themed attraction in Dubai uses a massive 18 million litres of fresh water to power seven waterslides, a 2.3 kilometre river ride with tidal waves and pools, water rapids and white water chargers. Aquaventure uses 750,000 litres per minute to create surges and waves, with swells reaching almost a metre high as you power through, safe and sound in your inner tube. The Ziggurat is the centrepiece of the park, reaching 30 metres high and featuring seven heart-pumping water slides including the Leap of Faith, which has a 27.5 metre near-vertical drop that propels riders through a clear acrylic tunnel submerged in a shark-filled lagoon. If you loved Wild Wadi’s Jumeirah Sceirah, this one’s for you!
BEST for: Those who like the top of the thrill scale – think Leap of Faith!
Iceland waterpark
Going to Iceland is like stepping into Ice Age, minus the crazy squirrel. The rides aren’t as modern or adventurous as in the Dubai water parks but the park has a great atmosphere, and the best thing about it is there’s a bar! A large shaded terrace overlooks the wave pool and you can sit and chill out with a drink – which means the age range of guests tends to be older than at other water parks. Iceland is a bit of a mission away but the crazy décor and beverages make up for it!
BEST for: Kids, as the rides tend to be entertaining rather than extreme for adults.
Dubai Attractions
We know there's so much to see and do so we've put together our 'favorites' list of the best things to do.
