Not only does the park offer rip-roaring rides and fun zones to splash around, but you also have the chance to swim around with dolphins and pet them in Dolphin Bay.

The buzzing waterpark is a treat for sore eyes. A true visual delight, the water park has a rustic Arabian theme with a storyline of a flooding wadi (river creek) and the various adventures designed around it. This park has got the best of worlds with fast, pulsing rides as well as a large lazy pool called Juha’s Journey that spans over 360 metres. However, not all the pools are as relaxing with many offering a twist with an unexpected thrill. Action River and Breaker’s Bay have unannounced surges and waves of water that get your heart thumping faster in excitement. The park is not lacking in its share of fast rides, Jumeirah Sceirah being one you’re not gonna want to miss.
