Pure refreshment and fun: Some of the coolest water parks
Admittedly, when we think of the United Arab Emirates, we think of lots of deserts, wonderful oases, and mega-cities. What we think less about is water.

Sceirah, in the Wild Wadi Waterpark, you will find the ultimate adrenaline rush. Here two parallel trapdoors open at a height of 32 meters. If you are daring enough to embark on this adventure, after the doors open, you will fall down the huge slide at speeds of up to 80 km/h. Have fun!
