You step out from the shade of Atlantis The Palm and the park greets you with surf, steel and shouted laughter: towering slides cut against the Persian Gulf horizon while the lazy river coils like a slow-moving promise through mangroves of tubing. The Leap of Faith drops you through a clear tunnel where sharks glide just beyond the acrylic — a sudden, heart-pushing contrast to the easy float of the 2.3-kilometer lazy river.
