Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi is one of the Middle East’s most impressive water parks, featuring over 45 rides, slides, and attractions inspired by Emirati heritage. The park’s design tells the story of “Dana,” a young Emirati girl on a quest to find a legendary pearl — a theme that celebrates the UAE’s pearl diving history. Spread over 15 hectares, Yas Waterworld offers something for everyone, from high-speed slides like Dawwama, the world’s first hydro-magnetic tornado water slide, to relaxing lazy rivers and wave pools. Families and thrill-seekers alike can enjoy a mix of excitement and cultural storytelling. Located just minutes from Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, and CLYMB Abu Dhabi, it forms part of Yas Island’s massive entertainment ecosystem. With seasonal events, live performances, and themed festivals, Yas Waterworld remains a top choice for cooling off and enjoying fun-filled adventures in Abu Dhabi.
