About Wild Wadi Waterpark - History, Mission & Values

Our Story

Wild Wadi Waterpark first opened its gates in 1999, quickly establishing itself as one of Dubai's premier entertainment destinations. Situated in the heart of Jumeirah, with the iconic Burj Al Arab as its backdrop, Wild Wadi was designed to offer an unforgettable water adventure experience for visitors of all ages.

The park's unique theme is inspired by the tale of Juha, a beloved character from Arabian folklore. This thematic foundation creates an immersive experience that blends thrilling water attractions with rich cultural storytelling.

Over the years, Wild Wadi has continuously evolved, adding new attractions and enhancing visitor experiences while maintaining its commitment to safety, innovation, and Arabian hospitality.
