Themed around the tale of the famous folklore character, Juha, the fun family attraction offers a variety of pulsating rides, slides and activities for all ages.

If relaxation is more your thing, the gentle Wave Pool is a great way to rock away the day. Or you can hire a private cabana for some quiet downtime at Lazy River.

Kids will want to explore Juha’s Dhow and Lagoon, a giant playground offering a number of different slides. The giant tipping bucket is guaranteed to leave you drenched if you happen to be standing anywhere nearby.

There are several speed slides for something with a bit more tempo and excitement. Try your hand at Flood River Flyer, or test your limits on Jumeirah Sceirah. There’s also a surfing simulator, where you can try to fight the water flow on a surfboard or bodyboard.
