Any mention of Abu Dhabi usually conjures up images of glitzy malls, fancy cars, and a whole lot of razzmatazz. But did you know, Abu Dhabi is now also home to the world’s largest waterpark? Located on Yas Island, the Yas Waterworld waterpark is spread over 15 hectares (think 15 football pitches), and is home to more than 40 rides, slides and attractions, including Bubble’s Barrel, Rush Rider, and Bandit Bomber which is Middle East’s longest suspended roller coaster, that is over 550 metres long.
