The Wild Wadi Water Park is an outdoor water park in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Situated in the area of Jumeirah, next to the Burj Al Arab and the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, the water park is operated by Jumeirah International, a Dubai-based hotelier.
Wild Wadi has a heated/cooled wave pool, multiple water slides and two artificial surfing machines. In addition, the park had the largest water slide outside of North America, but recently it was removed to make space for two other rides . Another feature of the park is an 18 m (59 ft) waterfall that goes off every ten minutes. The water park also has two gift shops, three restaurants and two snack stands.
It was featured in The Amazing Race 5 and The Amazing Race Asia 1, in which teams had to slide down a 21 m (69 ft) drop. It was later featured in The Amazing Race Australia 2, but instead, the teams had to ride the Surf Machine and use boogie boards to surf their way to the end where they will get their next clue.
The Wild Wadi is a great waterpark with a great location right by the famous Burj al Arab and Jumeirah Beach hotels. A great way to spend the day. Although, if you travel during the hot summer months when temperatures are regularly in the mid 40s, care is needed to prevent a doze of sun stroke or sun burn. One of the most memorable rides is the Master Blaster where you sit in a dinghy and are actually propelled up a slide by powerful water jets. There is also the Jumeirah Sceirah (the highest and fastest free fall water slide outside north America), a large wave pool and lazy river among several other attractions in the park. Tip - Be sure to adjust your swimming costume before standing up after riding the Jumeirah Sceirah.

Serving as the only themed amusement park in the UAE, the Wild Wadi Water Park in Dubai truly is one of a kind. This world famous holiday hotspot features over 30 attractions and adrenaline-pumping rides fit for all different ages and adventurous sprits. Relaxing fun at the park includes the Flood River and Juha’s Journey attractions, the latter of which was designed for families and young children not yet ready for the park’s more aggressive amusement rides. Daring Fun, for instance, is a favourite amongst frequent visitors who fancy themselves good swimmers and enthusiasts for mind-bendingly high speeds. Travellers really hoping for a thrill should check out Burj Surj and Tantrum Alley, two of the park’s real barnburners.
