Found on the very edge of the Palm Jumeirah, it has everything you need for a day out from pools and slides to relaxing cafes.

Starting with the attractions, the most terrifying has to be the Odyssey of Terror which is the world’s tallest waterslide.

Another is The Black Out slide which is 157 feet tall with a near-vertical drop body slide – the highest of its kind in the Middle East.

Leap of Faith is not for the faint-hearted as it has a 60-foot slide that goes through a lagoon filled with sharks.

But the terrifying slides didn’t put one traveller off.

They said: “The best water theme park in the world! The sheer number of water slides on offer is unbelievable.”

According to TripAdvisor, the Aquaventure Waterpark is voted the top activity to do in Dubai.

One reviewer said: “This is the best waterpark in the world and my 4.5yo daughter had the time of her life.”

In terms of the attractions, there’s the opportunity to meet some wildlife up close and personal.

For anyone wanting to explore the park underwater, you can snorkel and scuba dive and cross paths with 65,000 marine species including sharks and sting rays.

Aquaventure Waterpark is also home to the world’s largest dedicated kids zone with a lagoon full of six-lane racer slides and a children’s tornado slide as well as lots of pools and fountains.

For anyone wanting a break from the adrenaline there’s also a chance to relax.

From the private beach, enjoy the Dubai skyline while you sip on a cocktail.

Or, chill around the lazy river and take in a view of the park from your comfortable inflatable dingy.

Also around the park are private cabanas at an extra cost of AED 900 (£197).

Included with a private cabana is seating for six guests, butler service, cold towels, complimentary water, and a fruit platter.

A day pass ticket costs 330 UAE (£72.12). But for anyone celebrating a birthday, if you register before your arrival, then you can enter the park completely free.

And you don’t have to visit the park on your birthday, the free entry is valid six days before or after too.

Anyone using a birthday offer for their entry can also bring two friends who can get 20 per cent off their full price ticket.

Or if you are staying at either the Atlantic The Royal, Atlantis The Palm, or Rixos The Palm Hotel & Suites Dubai, you will get free access to Aquaventure every day of your stay.
