The Wild Wadi Waterpark offers free entry to guests from many of the city’s hotels and it is located close to the Burj Al Arab luxury hotel.
The park has thirty or so attractions, including slides, pools and rivers, some of which you can actually go up thanks to the special systems. If you’d like to put your skills to the test, you can take a shot at surfing the artificial waves – but be warned, not many people can handle them!
For the truly fearless, there’s the Jumeirah Sceirah slide! After you climb up the 32-meter tower (at the top of which you can enjoy magnificent views of the coastline), you’ll step into a capsule and get dropped down a breathtakingly steep 120-meter tunnel, at a speed of about 80 km an hour!
If you prefer to share the fun with friends, go for Tantrum Alley. Aboard a 4-seater raft, you can descend along a slide and circle through a series of funnels before finally splashing out into the pool.
