Twister
This 40-metre long tunnel slide ends into an open bowl that spins you around before dropping you in the water.

Is Dreamland Umm Al Quwain worth a Visit?
Perhaps the best thing about spending a day at Dreamland UAQ is that you cannot single out the experience without visiting the city of Umm Al Quwain. This small emirate is such a unique contrast to the more developed regions of Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah that it pleasantly surprises you.
Coming back to the waterpark, it is necessary to mention that Dreamland Aqua Park is no comparison to the bigger waterparks like Yas Waterworld, Wild Wadi, and Aquaventure. The park was built in the ’90s and has maintained its standards. But one fact you cannot ignore is that Dreamland UAQ still gives you some good thrills and slides for affordable prices. And it’s something that works great if you are looking for a lighthearted, fun weekend.
The best thing about this place is that even with plenty of activities at Dreamland Aqua Park, it rarely has many people visiting at the same time. So, you have the whole place to yourself and a few other families. It’s cheap, it’s fun, it’s not crowded and it has something for everyone. These make good enough reasons for us to visit the Dreamland Umm Al Quwain at least once.
