What to do at Wild Wadi Water Park in Dubai
Dubai is filled with high-profile sites, but few offer the relief and adrenaline of Wild Wadi Water Park. Positioned right next to the iconic Burj Al Arab, this park serves as a go-to spot for thrill-seekers, families, and anyone looking to beat the desert heat.
An oasis of water-based adventure in Dubai
Wild Wadi Water Park features over 30 rides suited for every age and thrill level. Speed seekers head straight for the Jumeirah Sceirah, a 105-foot-tall slide where you hit speeds of over 50 mph (80 km/h). For a more relaxed pace, Juha’s Journey offers a lazy river loop that is perfect for families. Kids usually gravitate toward Juha’s Dhow and Lagoon, an interactive play area packed with slides, dump buckets, and water cannons.
A deep dive into Arabian folklore
Wild Wadi Water Park does more than just provide slides. The entire park is built around the legend of Juha, a classic character from Arabian folklore, which shapes the architectural design and the storytelling behind each attraction.
High-end amenities
Beyond the water rides, the park offers a comfortable guest experience with private cabanas, various food options, and gift shops. Be sure to try the local snacks available throughout the park. If you want to keep the day going, the park sits just minutes from Jumeirah beach and its surrounding luxury hotels.

A few cool slides, but there is less to do than at the Atlantis park. And it does not have the same pretty beaches!
