Wild Wadi Water Park, Dubai
Located in front of Dubai's Burj Al Arab, the amazing Wild Wadi Water Park offers more than 30 rides and attractions for the whole family to enjoy.
The park is themed around the tale of Juha, an Arabian folklore character.
It is written that Juha used to sail to distant lands until one day his ship overturned leaving him and his family marooned on an enchanted island where there were fresh water streams and beautiful waterfalls.
The story goes on to tell how Juha's daughter Leila and son Ali wove palm trees together to ride on the rushing water.
Soon people of all ages came to the island to have fun together, just like they do at Wild Wadi Water Park.
The Wipeout and Riptide Flowriders offer an amazing surfing experience.
One of only four such rides in the world, the Wipeout Flowrider was the first barreling wave to be built.
Designed by the American surfing fanatic Thomas Lochtefeld, the Wipeout shoots out more than seven tonnes of water a second in a thin sheet across a moulded foam structure.
This produces a lifelike wave effect which is perfect for knee-boarding and body-boarding.
Breaker's Bay is the biggest wave pool in the Middle East.
Waves of 1.
5 metres, in five different configurations are produced in the pool.
Tantrum Alley is the latest Wild Wadi ride, incorporating two large downhill water slides and three amazing tornadoes.
A four-person tube takes the riders downhill where they enter the first tornado where they circle around in the eye of the storm before hitting the second tornado, eventually splashing out into the pool.
Jumeirah Sceirah is a 33 metre speed slide where the riders travel at up to 80kms an hour.
Burj Surj is made up of two large sections of downhill slides and 'the bowl'.
Up to 5 riders sit on a tube and travel downhill to the bowl where they are thrust into a two spinning spirals before dropping onto the slide that takes them for a 'splash down' in the pool.
The Master Blaster rides are a series of high-powered water jets that take riders on an aquatic roller coaster ride.
Riders are rocketed 15 metres above ground level starting in White Water Wadi or Flood River Flyer.
Flying Falls, Falaj Fury, Jebel Lookout, Wadi Leap, Hos 'N' Hurler, Falcon Fury, Rushing Rapids, Thunder Rapids, Wadi Basher, Wadi Twister, Tumble Falls and Tunnel of Doom are also Master Blasters.
Flood River circles the Flowriders and features sudden surges of 100,000 litres of water which creates waves of more than a metre high and sudden river rapids.
Juha's journey is a lovely relaxing ride along 360 metres of lazy river.
This ride is great for all the family to enjoy together as it has a very gentle current.
Breakers Bay wave pool, Juha's Journey lazy river, Juha's Dhow and Lagoon children's play structure and Flood River are ideal for smaller children to enjoy whilst visiting the park on their holiday deals to Dubai.
Life jackets are available free of charge for visitors who are not confident swimmers and children should be supervised by an adult at all times.
Visitors are not allowed to take food and drink into the park.
The park offers several different dining options including two main restaurants Julshan's Kitchen and Sinbad's Galley, Ali's BBQ, Leila's Stand for healthy eating options and drinks, Leila's Oasis for snacks and delicious fresh juice and smoothies and Shahbandar's Cafe for quick-serve snacks.
Every Friday in July the park stays open until 10pm.
Take advantage of the late closing time on your family holidays to Dubai.
