Aquaventure at Palm Atlantis

This past weekend we went to Atlantis to check out the water park and the Lost Chambers (aquarium). It opened in late September but it's been crazy buy ever since. We were very lucky that the crowds seem to have died down. It is expensive to get in - 285Dhs which is around $77US. The Lost Chambers aquarium was around $28. The weather was gorgeous. The water park is very nice. We didn't have to wait in lines for any rides - even Shark Attack, which is a water slide that goes thru the shark tank. There is another huge water slide that also goes thru the shark tank that we did not ride. It's one of those with no tube and it goes straight down.

The have a great lazy river that has rapids interspersed throughout. It goes all the way around the park. You even have access to the beach from the water park. The beach however was different than other beaches here. It is man made and the bottom wasn't very sandy.

We forgot our camera but here are a few photos of Atlantis that I found on the web.
