You step out of the transfer van and the sun hits the boardwalk—screams and splash rhythms draw your eye toward a cluster of twisting slides with the Burj Al Arab rising like a white sail behind them. The park hums: riders launched from launch platforms, families drifting on the lazy river, lifeguards scanning pools with practiced calm. The Arabian Gulf nudges the horizon; the waterpark answers with engineered waves and timed surges.
