Wild Wadi Water Park, Water park in Jumeirah district, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Wild Wadi Water Park is an outdoor water park in Jumeirah, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, beside the Burj Al Arab and the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and operated by Jumeirah International. It holds a heated and cooled wave pool, water slides and two artificial surfing machines, plus an 18 m waterfall at the entrance that runs every ten minutes. Breakers Bay makes 1.5 m waves in five configurations, and Juha's Journey is a 360 m floating river.
The park opened in 1999 as one of the first major leisure projects in the Jumeirah area and expanded its offerings repeatedly in the following years. New slides and technical installations were added while the original Arabian theme was maintained.
The park's name means "Wild Wadi" (wild river), and its layout follows a wadi theme with water channels linking the rides. Juha's Dhow and Lagoon, the children's area, is named after Juha, a figure from traditional storytelling. The entrance waterfall, 18 m high, runs every ten minutes.
Tickets are priced by height, with separate rates for visitors above and below 1.1 m; children under two enter free with proof of age. Towels and lockers cost extra, and booking online in advance brings a discount. The 18 m waterfall at the entrance erupts every ten minutes.
The Jumeirah Sceirah is a 33 m (108 ft) free-fall slide where riders reach up to 80 km/h. The park's two FlowRider machines, Wipeout and Riptide, are among only four of their kind worldwide, each releasing over seven tons of water per second.
