If you’re searching for a unique way to spend your upcoming Eid holidays, look no further than the wet and wild fun of Du Live City Slide.
The longest waterslides you’ll likely ever see will take over Dubai Autodrome on Friday, September 25 and Saturday, September 26.
Two 500-metre long waterslides will be set up and function in two-hour time-slots, with half an hour breaks in between to ensure the slides hold up to the popular demand.
The international family-friendly slip-and-slide event has had plenty of success in countries like Germany, Switzerland, Holland, France, Mexico, Austria, Spain, England and Belgium, and now the phenomenon is heading to the UAE.
Though summer has already officially ended, the heat would say otherwise and City Slide is the perfect way to cool off outside.
“Summers in Dubai will no more be spent indoors,” said Uttam Kumar, managing director of Tamquest Entertainment. “City Slide will surely get everyone on the streets this summer.”
Zona, event director of Tamquest Entertainment, added: “Dubai has seen a very hot summer this year and we want to give people a cooler experience to end their summers as an unforgettable one.
“We want people to get out of their homes and spend an entire day with their families and friends.”
Aside from the waterslides, the event will also have attractions like the Aqua Rides, water balloon and water gun fights, as well as a concert with a DJ.
Tickets cost Dh170 for entry to the venue and the two-hour timeslot to use the waterslides. Those who want to attend but not slide can do so for Dh50.
Children below the age of five can enter for free, but are not allowed to slide due to safety reasons.
You can purchase tickets either online at www.platinumlist.net or on-site on the day of the event, though they’re subject to availability.
