Sliding in to Aquaventure Dubai. 🇦🇪

The best thing about staying at the Atlantis resort in Dubai is being able to come and go as much as you want to the Aquaventure water park that's part of the resort. I decided to brave the UAE's extreme summer heat to spend a whole afternoon there.

Due to the 'rona, the park is only allowed to operate at 30% capacity. Awesome - less queuing for rides.

I was under the impression that masks had to be worn in the park when you weren't actually on a ride but thankfully that wasn't the case. The whole water park was a mask-free zone and it was truly awesome to experience something resembling normality for an afternoon.

I started off floating around the river that circles the park. It's a 2.3 km route with river rapids and lazy sections where you travel on a tube. It was a good way begin the day as there's no queuing. Just find a spare tube and jump in.

It was a little bit tricky to steer while holding a GoPro in one hand but most of the time the flow of the river take you where you want to go anyway. When it doesn't there's staff in the water to help out and keep everyone going in the right direction.

Those staff are super friendly despite being forced to wear a mask for the whole day while working outdoors in 45 degrees C heat. Most of them seem to come from African countries. I can't imagine many Europeans being able to handle that. I was suffocating just walking into the park wearing a mask.

The only ride that I queued more than five minutes for was the thrill ride Leap of Faith - the one where you shoot through a tunnel that passes through a shark tank. I may have been in that queue for up to half an hour. Then shortly after that I saw the queue had disappeared, so I guess I got unlucky with my timing. Even for the absolute fastest ride in the park, Poseidon's Revenge, the number of people ahead of me in the queue were zero.

I very much enjoyed the afternoon. If you've ever made the atrocious mistake of going to a theme park or a water park on a peak day you can truly appreciate how awesome it is not to have to queue for rides.
