Spectacular amusement parks in Dubai
Although many visitors regard Dubai as one big amusement park, the city actually features several real amusement parks. Enormous water slides, real-life movie studios, camel rides and even indoor skiing; everything is possible in Dubai.
The world’s largest and most popular water park is located at The Palm Jumeirah near the Atlantis Resort. Adrenaline junkies will be in heaven: Aquaventure Dubai boasts 42 hectares packed with hair-raising and thrilling attractions. Countless swimming pools and water slides ensure days of water and swimming fun. But Dubai has even more to offer.
Racing down the slide at 80 km per hour
Another world-famous attraction in Dubai is the Wild Wadi Waterpark amusement park, close to the famous Burj Al Arab hotel. The water park is based on the Arabian story of Sinbad the Sailor and the characters from the story figure prominently. The park boasts more than 24 slides, wave pools and wild water rides. Some of the slides are 30 metres high, generating speeds of up to 80 km per hour.Indoor ski paradise
There is no need to bring your skis to indulge in an afternoon of skiing in Dubai. All the equipment is available for rent at the world’s largest indoor ski slope, including winter clothing. This covered ski paradise offers 5 different ski runs, a chair lift and a 3000 square metre fun park. The longest run measures 400 metres and has a 60-metre drop. Daredevils may opt for the black run with a 35-degree slope.
