Basking under the Abu Dhabi sunshine, rushing down water slides, and getting that sun-kissed, happy glow is a sign of an incredible day. That is what it feels like after you’ve spent an entire day splashing up a storm at Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi, one of the city’s most incredible attractions. Located on Yas Island, just 20 minutes from Abu Dhabi city and with an area spanning 15 football pitches, this enormous waterpark has an Emirati theme.
On to the rides we go! Give the world’s first, largest hydromagnetic-powered, 238-metre long, six-person tornado waterslide, Dawwamma a go, followed by the insane three-metre-high waves on Bubble’s Barrel, which has the world’s largest surfable sheet wave for flow boards and bodyboards. For thrill fanatics, dial up the levels to 100 because that is the Liwa Loop. Imagine the ground beneath you suddenly giving way, and you are now freefalling down a high-intensity slide. How is that for an extreme adrenaline rush?
For the folks who prefer laidback rides, there is the Al Raha River or the lazy river, where you can just lay and float without a care in the world. Perfect for younger ones!
