Aquaventure waterpark, based at Atlantis, The Palm on the Palm Jumeirah – Dubai’s famous man-made island development – is a great place to cool off after a few days of hectic shopping and sightseeing. The water slide action here is excellent and world-class, with the Aquaconda, the world’s longest water slide; a nine-story-tall slide, aptly named the Leap of Faith; and water coaster rides. There’s also underwater safaris using seatrek helmets; a dedicated water play area for smaller children with slides; and for when all your energy has been used up, a 700-meter sweep of white-sand beach to chill out on.
Lost Chambers Aquarium is a world of exotic marine life made up of chambers and lagoons themed around the legendary undersea city of Atlantis, the spectacular aquarium houses a world of tropical sea life. Explore at your own pace and see radiant reef fish, seahorses, rays, sharks and countless other creatures, including those in the vast Ambassadors Lagoon.
