Wild Wadi Waterpark is one of Dubai’s most famous outdoor attractions, located in front of the Burj Al Arab and inspired by the tale of Juha, a popular character from Arabian folklore. Opened in 1999, this award-winning waterpark offers a mix of thrilling rides, relaxing pools, and family-friendly activities — all set against the backdrop of the stunning Jumeirah coastline.
With over 30 rides and attractions, Wild Wadi combines adventure, tradition, and fun, making it a must-visit for families, tourists, and thrill-seekers alike.
Highlights & Attractions
- Jumeirah Sceirah: The park’s most extreme ride — a tandem 120-meter slide that sends riders plummeting at speeds up to 80 km/h from a 32-meter-high tower.
- Master Blasters: A network of high-powered water roller coasters that propel guests uphill and downhill using powerful water jets.
- Tantrum Alley & Burj Surj: Group raft rides featuring multiple slides, funnels, and fast turns — perfect for friends and families.
- Breaker’s Bay: The largest wave pool in the Middle East, producing waves up to 1.5 meters high, ideal for swimming or floating under the sun.
- Lazy River: A calm, scenic ride through winding waterways — a relaxing break between the adrenaline-pumping slides.
- Juha’s Dhow and Lagoon: A colorful children’s play area filled with slides, tipping buckets, and climbing frames for younger guests.
Designed around an Arabian oasis theme, Wild Wadi offers both excitement and relaxation in equal measure. From thrill rides to shaded lounging areas, every corner of the park reflects the warmth and adventure of Dubai’s desert-meets-sea spirit.
