Great days out in Dubai Water park fun As the kids will tell you, no trip to Dubai is complete without a visit to the Wild Wadi water park, the largest water park in the region which puts many to shame, with the sheer volume of rides and water based attractions on offer. What sets this water park aside from the many alternatives around the world is the attention to detail that has been included in the design, and the fact that the park has truly been made with the visitor in mind. Why walk from ride to ride, when you fan float down the lazy river connecting the 14 rides. Such a simple idea, but one aspect that makes that makes this one of the best water parks in the world. There is also the trifling matter of The Big One, the Jumeirah Sceirah. Enough to strike fear in to the hearts of the most hardened water park enthusiast. Are you up to a 27 metre descent at 50 mph with only a pair of speedo's to protect you? If not there are more leisurely rides to choose from, and many pools, wave pools, and slides to keep the whole family amused. For those surfers amongst you, you can ride the 7 tonnes of water per second that create the then the Wipeout and Riptide flowriders.
Desert Safaris If you prefer to keep your Chelsea Tractor for the school run, you will be pleased to hear that you don’t have to get your own 4x4 dirty as there are many locations where you can hire one of these beasts of the road for a spot of "dune-bashing" - one of the most popular day trips in Dubai. There are many tour operators that organise trips to tear up and down the sand dunes and to hone your skills for next years Dakar rally. If you fancy an easier ride, then take a Wadi-bashing trip, which follow the dry river beds and if your skills are not up to the task, then there it is possible to hire a driver and just sit back and enjoy the action. |
