    "Maybe because it is the off-season in Dubai, the weather is too hot and there are very few people in the park. Almost every project is like a private venue. Except for the projects that are not opened, everything else is brushed casually. The center hall is very good. Every door can reach a theme."

    "Our visit to Wild Wadi recently was great. The kids enjoyed the water slides. The place looks a bit old and needs an update. We enjoyed the lazy river water slide. They have available several places to lounge while one is not playing in water. We got swindled at the reception to buy a prepaid all you can eat meal plan at 185 AED. Once you arrive inside you discover the food is terrible and there are more nicer food options you could have had. Finding a secure phone charging point is impossible."

    11km from downtown
    Highlights: Wild Wadi Waterpark is located on the Jumeirah Public Beach in front of the Burj Al Arab Hotel. It's a relatively popular theme park in the Middle East. You can experience the pretty exciting "vertical capsule" ride in the park, to fall at relatively high speed from the air. You can also experience surfing in the wave pool, or leisurely float for a circuit. The park theme is that of the warrior Sinbad's exciting adventures as told in the Arabian legends. It combines Arab-style water constructs, while some water facilities are interconnected so there is no need to leave the water while playing inside.

    "20230222⑦ Jumeirah Palm Island 1. "Atlantis Dolphin Bay" is located in "Jumeirah Palm Island". The island is located in the landmark Internet red landscape of Dubai City. It is one of the world's largest land transformation projects, costing $14 billion, known as the "eighth wonder of the world", overlooking the palm tree pattern from high altitude. Free entry by walking and self-driving, take light rail 25 dirhams, equivalent to about 47 yuan. ① Address: Palm Jumeira Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. ② Transportation: Direct bus, easy to stop by car. ③ peak season: no. ④ Time: There is no upper limit on the time. 2. The outline of the palm island can only be seen at high altitude, and even the highest floor of the hotel can't take palm patterns, which means that you must take helicopters and other equipment to take palm patterns. You can only take a helicopter at least 1,000 yuan per person. The poor travel party can only look at the photos. The tour guide sent a photo of the high-altitude photo in the tour group WeChat group to understand the problem. 3, Dubai tribal chiefs in the development of Dubai, the concept is "either not built, to build is the world first, because no one remembers who is the world second", so Dubai has gathered the world's highest building, the first artificial island, the largest shopping center, the only ATM machine that can take out gold, The largest music fountain, the largest Ferris wheel and many other world first. Palm Island has built 3 in total. Jumeirah Palm Island is the largest. The stones for land reclamation are imported from overseas. The UAE itself does not produce large stones. At present, the area of palm branches and leaves is a mansion area. Most of them are purchased by foreigners, and there are also star rich people in China. There are also amusement facilities and shopping malls on the island, equivalent to a sea city. The outermost ring area is not connected to land and needs to be reached by boat. 4, but in fairness, Dubai's luxury is piled up with money, the UAE climate is not suitable for living, after all, it is a desert climate, most of the time is hot and difficult, but vacation travel is OK, but really want to live for a long time, always blow air conditioning is not healthy. Buying a house for the purpose of long-term living and recuperating body and mind, instead of spending 100 million to buy a sea villa on Palm Island, the effect is not as good as spending 1 million to buy a house in a small town with small bridges and flowing water in the south of the country, and the forest is dense and negative oxygen ions are high. 5, we got off at the "Atlantis Hotel" to take pictures, the hotel belongs to the seven-star hotel, built in 2008, cost $1.5 billion, the opening ceremony alone cost $20 million, the cheapest room more than 5,000 yuan. The building is an arched castle-style landmark building, facing the sea on both sides. The coast at the foot of the hotel is not sand, but a neat boulder outside the walking path. The signboard can't be written, but many foreigners still go up. We only spent an hour filming Atlantis and then returned to the bus to finish the whole day."

    Highlights: Dolphin Bay in Dubai’s Atlantis Hotel offers visitors the opportunity to get up close and personal with its resident dolphins. Visitors can swim with, play with and even hug the dolphins. If you’re lucky you might even get a dolphin kiss. There is a shallow pool in Dolphin Bay for non-swimmers and children. The little shoal also offers the opportunity to interact with dolphins and is a great option for those who prefer to stay out of the deeper water.

    "20230224 morning: 1. The "Last Exit" is a vehicle-themed Internet celebrity park on the outskirts of Dubai, similar to the rest area on the domestic highway. Although the whole park is not big, even every corner including the toilets is integrated with car elements, creative and novel, avant-garde grandeur, scrapped cars and landscape cars are strange, very similar to the armored car group in the movie "Mad Max", which is a must-check scenic spot for fashion petty bourgeoisie. ① Address: Zayed Avenue, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This highway connects Dubai and Abu Dhabi. ② Transportation: No bus, easy to stop by car. ③ peak season: no. ④ Time: 1 hour. 2. The entrance to the park is a row of multi-lane passages like domestic high-speed toll ports, but each toll booth is a container, there is a strange car in front of "guarded". The outdoor area is dazzling: petrol barrel seats, iron dinosaurs (the back of the sword dragon is made of shovels, very creative), TV hills, stone-topped cars, yellow retro flip-flops (I had an exact same toy when I was a child), car skeleton flower pots and other landscapes. 3. The interior is even more unique. The interior decoration style is very similar to the road dining bar in the United States 50 years ago. There are also many creative landscapes: cars coming out of the wall, large iron balls hanging by chains, dense stickers, pirate decoration walls, All kinds of small entertainment facilities ( billiards, marble table, shooting machine), etc., my eyes are too busy to miss a corner. The exterior of the building is the bottom of a side-turned car, domineering. 4, the most wonderful in the toilet, the toilet facilities are composed of various auto parts: washbasin is a shovel for shovel, hand sanitizer bottle is a car oil bottle, the faucet needs to step on the brake brake, the head lamp is the front and rear lighting of the car, the toilet is like a cabin, The door handle is the gas station's gas pipe handshake, and the urinal partition is the door. 5. There is also a CS real battlefield in the scenic area. At this time, many locals at the front desk changed their military uniforms and took their weapons to prepare for killing. This is the only remaining amusement facilities in the park. Most of the equipment has been out of service and abandoned. The outdoor dining car has also been closed. Look at the photos of the previous years on the Internet. The style of the scenic spot has changed from the previous gorgeous cartoon shape to the current savage and unrestrained style, and I personally feel that the current park is more attractive to men. 6, the park is located on Zayed Avenue named after the UAE President Zayed, who united 6 emirates, has been a great success in the process of the UAE's founding, is a legendary figure in the UAE, and vigorously develops relations with China. There is also an interesting thing here. When he visited China in 1990, he was worried that he would not be used to Chinese food. He specially brought a few live sheep and a chef, but the first meal was impressed by Chinese food, and even wanted to pack it. After the meal, he gave a huge tip of 60,000 yuan to the Chinese chef. 7. On the highway, there is also a car park "Ferrari theme park". It is not open at 11:00. No wonder the Chinese are diligent and it is difficult to experience it without going abroad. We only looked at the entrance, and the black and white decoration style of Formula One cars around was very substituting. In addition, the gorilla at the door is a photo spot."

    Highlights: The truck park is inspired by the American road culture of the 1950s. The retro cartoon-shaped trucks with bright colors and different shapes have been transformed into special restaurants. They are very cute. It is inspired by the retro style of the 1950s in the United States. In addition to the feelings of American highways, there are cultural collisions with Arab countries. The design of the entire park is bright and moving without losing the retro style of the 1950s in the United States. The real identities of dozens of retro cartoon-shaped trucks and vans turned out to be restaurants serving takeaway food! You can get authentic American burgers, Mexican hot dogs, burritos, even Starbucks and more. Local Arabs come here by car and roll down the window to buy their favorite food.
