Planning to travel to Dubai? Wild Wadi Water Park Dubai is among the most common family-friendly attraction in Dubai, strategically situated at the center of Jumeirah, beside the famous Burj Al Arab and the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. The park has been stunning with over 30 rides and slides since its opening, thus becoming the best option for families who would like to have fun things to do in Dubai.
The story of the park is devoted to the story of Juha, who is a popular character of Arabian folklore. It is, according to legend, that Juha was in an unmerciful storm, his dhow dashed on shore with his friend Sinbad the sailor. They found a tropical utopia where the mountains and the wadi, which is a valley with water, are located, and above them made tunnels and slides. This mythical story is what Wild Wadi Water Park Dubai is based on, and it makes the whole experience look like an authentic Arabian ambiance, which differentiates it from all other water parks in this region.
