If you ever get to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates don't miss out on probably the biggest and best water park outside Europe or America. Here the water flows uphill taking you with it. This is absolutely crazy. They use little jets that blast the water in the rides uphill and you float in a ring with it. When you reach the top it goes down like most rides you know.

To chill out there are two big rivers where you peacefully float in a circle through tunnels and gardens. Go bodyboarding or stand under a thick curtain of water. The main beach has a wave machine.

Dress Code

You may wear well fitting clothes. The park management makes these allowances for religiously modest people and those who wish to protect their skin from sunburn.

Your clothes should have no metal bits or jewelry on them. Long sleeve T-shirts and leggings or tracksuits are fine.

Baggy clothes and loose fitting clothes like the traditional Arabian dress, are not allowed. They might come off on the rides or get damaged and thus cause danger.
