A large family water park in Umm Al Quwain, one of the region's oldest and biggest. Dozens of slides of varying intensity, a wave pool, a lazy river, separate shallow zones for small children, plus grassy lawns and a camping area. A ticket is around AED 90 for guests 120 cm and taller; under-3s are free, and those under 120 cm usually have a separate rate. The park is spacious, with fewer crowds than Dubai's water parks.

Tips

The rate depends on height: a full ticket from 120 cm, usually cheaper below that, free under 3. Check the price and hours on the official site before you go. Bring water shoes — some surfaces get hot.
