BURJ AL ARAB - JUMERIAH HOTEL-WILD WADI -DUBAI


Burj Al Arab (Arabic: Tower of the Arabs) is a 5-star (often misleadingly referred to as 7-star) luxury hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
 .... it is the fourth tallest hotel in the world. Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island  out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. The shape of the structure is designed to mimic the sail of a ship.
It was built to resemble the sail of a dhow, a type of Arabian vessel. Two "wings" spread in a V to form a vast "mast", while the space between them is enclosed in a massive atrium.
The Jumeirah Hotel ,  wave-shaped hotel complements the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, which is adjacent to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. 

The hotel occupies a location on the beach.  Beside the hotel is the Wild Wadi Water Park. All guests in the hotel have unlimited access to the waterpark
The Wild Wadi Water Park is situated in Jumeirah, an area in Dubai, United Arab Emirates next to the Burj Al Arab and the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. 
Wild Wadi is an outdoor water park with a heated/cooled wave pool, multiple water slides and two artificial surfing machines. In addition, the park has the largest water slide outside of North America. 


It was featured in The Amazing Race 5 and The Amazing Race Asia 1, in which teams had to slide down a 21 m (69 ft) drop.
