Dubai Tourist Attractions and Dubai Sightseeing
(Dubai, United Arab Emirates, UAE)



Dubai is a lively, cosmopolitan city with unbelievable modern amenities and tourist attractions available at every turn. In this city, anything is possible, and tourists holidaying in Dubai will find remarkable attractions that defy the city's location in the midst of the Arabian Desert.

Ski Dubai is one of the most amazing tourist attractions in the city, as visitors have the chance to ski, snowboard or toboggan down five separate slopes in the Mall of the Emirates. The Wild Wadi Water Park has one of four artificial rip-curl waves in the world. Finally, a guided, dune-bashing ride through the desert belongs on every tourist's itinerary.




Dubai Tourist Attractions: Wild Wadi Water Park
Address: Jumeirah Beach Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, UAE
Tel: +971 04 348 4444
Dubai's premier water park is a fun, family destination and offers tourists a refreshing break from the heat. Rides range from high-octane water slides to more laid-back attractions suitable for young children. The wave pool generates 1.5-metre / 5-foot faces, although the most impressive wave in the park is the Flowrider attraction, which creates a surfable, curl-shaped wave, and is quite fascinating just to watch.
