Jumeirah, a global leader in luxury hospitality and a member of Dubai Holding, operates an exceptional portfolio of 28 properties across the Middle East, Europe and Asia. In 1999, Jumeirah changed the face of luxury hospitality with the opening of the iconic Jumeirah Burj Al Arab and the brand is now renowned worldwide for its distinguished beachfront resorts, esteemed city hotels and luxury residences. From the contemporary Maldivian island paradise at Jumeirah Olhahali Island to the art-inspired Jumeirah Capri Palace in Italy and the modern twist on a British classic at Jumeirah Carlton Tower in London, the brand has become synonymous with warm and generous service and the ability to craft distinctive and purposeful experiences that bring joy to guests from across the world. 

This Arabian-themed waterpark in Dubai offers breathtaking views of Jumeirah Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Madinat Jumeirah. A day at this waterpark means one adrenaline rush after another. Thrill-seekers can enjoy the super-fast Jumeirah Sceirah, a 120-metre slide where they can descend at 80 km/h.
