The best theme parks in Dubai
Discover the 8 must-see theme parks in Dubai according to DRN Dubai Real Estate. From water parks to thrill parks and theme parks, there’s something to suit every budget.
Dubai Atlantis Aquaventure water park
Atlantis Aquaventure is the water park at the heart of the Atlantis The Palm Hotel. It’s Dubai’s excess at the service of a discerning clientele, combined with a memorable experience for (big) kids. Aquaventure Dubai boasts impressive water rides and adventures suitable for all ages. Set in over 17 hectares, you’ll find over 30 attractions and 105 waterslides, perched in a breathtaking setting inspired by the adventures of Indiana Jones (Mayan temples, pyramids, tropical forest…).
On the program: fast-flowing waters to ride on large buoys, thrilling slides and even a 2.3 km-long river with tidal waves, pools and whitewater generators. Too quiet for you? It’s time to get your adrenaline pumping with “The Leap of Faith”, a slide with a vertiginous 27.5-meter descent, close to the vertical, that will propel the most daring through a transparent acrylic tunnel immersed in a shark-filled lagoon. In short, the equivalent of falling 9 storeys in just a few seconds! You can also tackle the “Poseidon Revenge”, a terrifying 20-metre drop where the floor collapses beneath your feet at nearly 60km/h. If thrills aren’t your thing, you can also relax on a 1 km private beach, facing the mythical flipper. All you have to do is get in the water!
