Yas Waterworld

On January 24th 2013 the long awaited Yas Waterworld opened for business on Yas Island, a 30 minute drive from downtown Abu Dhabi.

With 43 rides and attractions, Yas Waterworld is quickly becoming a must visit attraction during any trip to Abu Dhabi. There are a number of unique rides at the park including the longest suspended roller coaster in the Middle East.
Liwa Loop– The only looping water slide in the Middle East, this enclosed water slide drops the rider straight down before sending you on an inverted loop and spitting you out. Easily the top attraction for those seeking an adrenaline rush.
Dawwama– This giant water slide sends six people in one raft through a series of drops and turns using hydro magnetic technology into the 65 foot funnel. Though they allow children on the ride make sure they can hold on tight.
Slithers Slides– A series of six raft required water slides, featuring laser and light shows and though not the adrenaline rush of some rides, these rides are some of the best fun Yas Waterworld has to offer.

Yas Waterworld boasts three children’s play areas including low profile slides, a tot’s play area and Marah Fortress a children’s paradise with six water slides, two dumping buckets and countless water sprayers.
With a courteous staff, good food and a park filled with non stop attraction you can easily spend an entire day if not two days soaking in the sun. Enjoy.

Tip: Getting to the park early is essential if you want to beat the crowds and ride the top attractions. The park opens everyday at 10 am and, as always, Friday is the best day to do almost anything in Abu Dhabi, particularly in the morning. Also bring your own towel if possible, towels are 30 dirhams each to rent at the park.
