From soaring to soaking
At Aquaventure, the world's largest waterpark, over 105 slides and attractions cater to the young and the young-at-heart alike. Among the many rides, the most sought-after ones are the Odyssey of Terror; the Zoomerango with its high-speed twists and turns; and the Aquaconda, a looping waterslide that propels riders through a transparent tube surrounded by sharks.
For families with young children, there is Splashers – a play area complete with all the mini slides, sprinklers, and tipping buckets that they'll love. If you're looking for a more laid-back experience, hit up the relaxing River Rapids and great beaches that look out over the Palm Jumeirah.
