Dubai has so much to offer tourists, including incredible architecture, delicious food, luxury beach resorts and an array of fun and exciting activities to keep families, friends and couples alike entertained while on vacation. In this article we are going to look at four activities visitors could enjoy in one day at one of Dubai’s luxury beach resorts, Atlantis the Palm
Aquadventure
Get your adrenaline pumping with the record breaking rides and slides Aquadventure has to offer. Brave The Tower of Neptune, filled with dark mysterious tunnels that will catapult you into the Shark Lagoon and take to the water coasters that will push all of your boundaries. At The Tower of Poseidon you can ride the monstrous Aquaconda – the largest water slide in the world – as well as weightlessness on the Zoomerango or the nerves of rising Poseidon’s Revenge. If you would rather relax and let your friends or family conquer the water rides, there is 700 metres of pristine beach with exclusive seating areas for divine relaxation.
Lost Chambers Aquarium
This unique and magical aquarium showcases the ancient ruins of the lost city of Atlantis that have finally been uncovered after being lost for thousands of years beneath the sea. You can experience the myth of Atlantis through hourly Myth Tours and Aquatheatre shows, as well as Ultimate Snorkel (for those thrill seekers), behind the scenes tours and Aquarium Dives. As you learn about the lost city of Atlantis, its cutlture, technology and ancient citizens, you will gaze at 65 000 marine animals, or you can interact with them by swimming with the sharks – an experience you will never forget. If you would rather watch, there are daily interactive Aquatheatre Shows which include facts about the marine life and scuba diving, as well as a feeding show and some giggles at the comic scuba divers.
ShuiQi Spa
Relax and put your feet up at the ShuiQi spa that will ‘enlighten your senses and your soul’. Offering a wide range of treatments, including Shiseido, ESPA Treatments, Aromatherapy Associates and Bastien Gonzalez, you will leave feeling like a completely different person – renewed and refreshed.
