The Tower of Neptune leads to The Rapids, the longest water park river in the Middle East. You can get to other rides from here: hop on a slider in Zoomerang, take a 60kph plunge at Poseidon’s Revenge, and other kid-friendly water slides at Splasher Mountain. You can also try Slitherine’s and Anaconda, the first twin-racing tube rides in the world. Or, fly across the water park via the longest zipline circuit, Atlantean Flyers.

Besides its multitude of exciting rides, Atlantis Aquaventure is the only water park in the Middle East with animal encounters.
