Wild Wadi Water Park
Park Outdoor water park adjacent to Dubai's Jumeirah hotels
Wild Wadi Water Park in Dubai sits beside Jumeirah Beach, offering water slides, wave pools and family rides themed on the folklore character Juha; visitors come on day trips and hotel packages.
Wild Wadi Water Park is an outdoor, commercial water park in Dubai’s Jumeirah district operated by the Jumeirah Group and opened in 1999. The park is positioned on the waterfront beside prominent hotels, making it a popular family and tourist attraction in Dubai.
The park’s attractions include high-speed slides, a sheet-wave surfing simulator, a tornado-style ride, a large wave pool and a children’s play lagoon, with a mix of adrenaline and family-oriented water features. Water-play areas, slide towers and lazy rivers are concentrated across a compact site with lifeguards and visitor facilities.
Wild Wadi functions as a purpose-built leisure complex rather than a historic site; it is designed for day visits and is commonly paired with stays at nearby hotels in the Jumeirah area. It sits on the Jumeirah shoreline immediately adjacent to the Burj Al Arab hotel.
- Location advantage: Located next to the Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotel, the park provides convenient photo opportunities that combine water attractions with iconic Dubai landmarks.
- Major attractions: Major rides include the tower slide complex Jumeirah Sceirah, the Tantrum Alley tornado ride, and a FlowRider surf simulator; younger children have a dedicated play lagoon.
