Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi

Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi is a waterpark in the United Arab Emirates, located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The park is home to 45 rides, slides and attractions – five of which are world-firsts, including Bubble’s Barrel, a FlowBarrel 10 Double Sheet Wave ride, and Dawwama, a hydro magnetic-powered 6-person tornado waterslide.

The park is set across 15 hectares of land and has received wide industry acclaim, including being named as the first waterpark in the Middle East to be certified with the Estidama One Pearl green sustainability rating.Шаблон:Citation needed

The park pays tribute to the Emirati heritage of pearl diving through a unique theme, ‘The Legend of the Lost Pearl’, which is reflected in the waterpark's design and each of the waterpark’s rides and attractions.

The waterpark has also played host to the World Flowboarding Championships since 2013.

This water park has a handful of amazing rides. It is a good activity to do on a hot summers day as there are slides, lazy rivers and more. My favorite ride had to be the Dawwama!

Amazing place to chillex! Great rides and beautiful decoration all over the place. No direction signs to get to the park. Make sure to wear flip flops as the floor is extremely hot! Enjoy it !!!

Dawwama is an extreme ride for a group, but for solo? You really should try liwa loop. It was like, boom! And you left your soul at the starting point!????

Without a doubt the best water park in the Middle East. Variety of games, some rides are crazy & can be scary fun as well. Perfect place for family, friends, and couples.

Didn't like it ???? Atlants water park is the best between all the Waterparks in the UAE! There isn't as much as Atlantas and the games are very far from each other I suggest Atlants or Wild Wadi
