After more than 2 months over here, I finally went to Dubai the other day for pleasure and leisure and not business for a change. After the obligatory visit to Greeneye (a shop in Dubai that sells clothes, watches and bags for all the top brands - only fakes), it was down to Dubai's famous Wild Wadi. For those of you that have not been to Dubai, Wild Wadi is a water park in the shadows of the Burj Al Arab Hotel (the self styled 7 star hotel).
Wild Wadi was packed, and surprisingly not overrun with screaming kids. There were families there, but also a high number of young groups of adults. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the sun, but also offers a handful of great water rides and activities that include Breakers Bay - a pool that every now and then goes from calm water to creating waves of over 1.5 meters high, Master Blaster - a water based roller coaster where you sit in a big rubber ring and are sent up, down, and round the park by high powered water jets (ride best left to those how are not a immensely clinically obese - but that's another story!) , and Jumeirah Sceirah - the tallest and fastest free fall speed slide outside North America, which is 33 metres long, and you free fall down the slide at up to 80kph (50mph) and for a brief moment, experience weightlessness.
A great day out for kids of all ages!
