Wild Wadi Water Park
Drop 33 metres at 80 km/h on the fastest free-fall water slide outside the Americas — right beside the Burj Al Arab.
Coming soon on iOS — be first to walk Dubai offline.
Wild Wadi packs serious water engineering into one Jumeirah block: the Middle East's largest wave pool, two FlowRider simulators firing more than seven tons of water per second combined, and a 360 m lazy river that loops the entire park. An 18 m waterfall punctuates the scene every ten minutes.
What to look for
- Jumeirah Sceirah's 33 m free-fall tower — riders hit up to 80 km/h, the tallest and fastest slide of its kind outside North and South America
- Breakers Bay wave pool generating parallel and crossing 1.5 m waves in five separate configurations
- The 18 m waterfall that goes off on a ten-minute cycle — easy to time if you watch the crowd gather
Three restaurants and two snack stands are on-site; the park sits in Jumeirah directly next to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel.
Wild Wadi Water Park is one of 33 sights worth the detour in Dubai, all bundled offline in Voyage GO — download the Dubai pack and it sits on your map with no signal, filling your travel passport the moment you walk past.
