Saraya Aqaba Waterpark, the largest waterpark in the Jordan, has officially opened its doors to the public today.
The key attraction, located in the heart of Jordan’s only coastal city Aqaba, promises guests the ultimate aquatic adventure with over 25 rides, slides and experiences in addition to family-friendly eateries and shopping outlets.
The waterpark is expected to welcome guests from across the kingdom as well as tourists from around the world to slide, float and swim for a great summer to remember by the Red Sea.
The inauguration ceremony, which marked the official grand opening of the waterpark, was held yesterday (July 2) with a symbolic button push to kick-off the evening’s festivities.
The ceremony featured exhilarating live entertainment including flash mob and percussion show performances, stilt walkers, jugglers and a celebratory parade accompanied by a live DJ music set.
Situated within the stunning Saraya Al Aqaba Residential City, the waterpark spans an area of 28,500 sq m.
A uniquely themed waterpark, guests can enjoy a bevy of memorable experiences courtesy of rides and attractions inspired by Jordan’s most iconic landmarks including Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, Jerash and many more.
Waterpark-goers will be blown away by unique rides that have never been seen before in the kingdom including Pella Plunge, a slide that defies gravity from the highest point in the waterpark, said a company spokesman.
"Dead Sea Drop, a near vertical plunge that plummets 40 ft downwards as one of the tallest and steepest slides in the country and Syagha Serpent, a slide through an abyss of darkness filled with twists, turns and spins among others," he stated.
"Kids are spoilt for choice at Saraya Aqaba Waterpark with Aqua Jerash, an aquatic playground designed exclusively for little ones. Complete with slides, interactive activities, waterfalls, rotating jets and a giant tipping bucket, kids are guaranteed to be entertained all day long," he added-TradeArabia News Service
