About this audio guide
This guide to Aquaventure World on Palm Jumeirah opens at the top of the twenty-seven-metre Leap of Faith tower, a near-vertical slide that drops straight through a lagoon of sharks and rays. It traces how the seventeen-hectare park sits on Palm Jumeirah's dredged, palm-shaped island, and how a two-point-three-kilometre river ride, a wave pool and a zip line circuit were built up around that one signature drop. Notice how long people pause at the top before they jump.
