Hi can anyone help - need PRECISE directions from Defence r/a to Dreamland water park (and maybe a visit to the shop!!!) - have been before but it took ages to find it and I'm sure there must be an easy route

Helllo

Is that the one in UAQ??

Fairydust

Yes any ideas on the best and quickest way of getting there?

You take the SHJ-DXB road,get into Sharjah,keep straight,at the first roundabout you enter the second right avenue towards SHJ airport road,then,after the large roundabout (AKA Book Roundabout)you will spot the Fine Fair complex on the road,after passing it take the right to go left under the bridge to the direction of Ajman.After that,whatever you do,you keep going straight,no right or left turns,and after driving around 20-25 minutes or around 40Kms,you will pass an airplane parked on the opposite side of the road,and soon afterwards you will see the Aquapark on your left.I also think that they have their own signs on the Ajman-UAQ highway.


Have fun!!!!!

Thank you will let you know how I got on

Thought you had changed your name

With the new aptly named Emirates Road now open, if you drive towards Sharjah on it from Dubai and just keep going straight on towards Ras al-Khaimah, (yes, you can now bypass Ajman all together), you will see signs to Dreamland Aqua Park off the road to your left. "The plane" is towards Ajman from the park. It is now only a 30-40 min drive from Dubai.
Good shopping

Fairydust

Yes thats ok as long as you know where the emirates road is I need step by step directions

And don't forget to stop off at the Ba-ba-ra-ra-cu-cu-da-da on the way back! The Emirates road is the best one to take if the front of your car is pointing towards the sky!

Is that dreamland water park any good and how does it rate in comparison with Wild Wadi?

Desert Dweller

Wild Wadi sucks the big one. In UAQ you have much more to do, you can drink beer in the water bar, there is green space to sit, chill and have lunch etc.

However, the water at UAQ is not cooled, at WW it is, so it's like playing in a very large hot bath.

Now where did I put my Loofah???

Desert Dweller

Yer big poof! 3rd degree burns in the shallows is part of the attraction! As are Russian girls in thongs!

MJC

So there are advantages then.

Fairydust

Thanks everyone found it ok and stocked up my wine supplies at the same time

MJC - pools are chilled - although some more than others, kids really enjoyed it and said they preferred it to wild wadi
