Dubai’s First Ever Water Swing Is Now At Palm Jumeirah
The Water swing functions on the same mechanism as Sharjah’s Rain Room. The swing is fitted with motion sensors, that stops the flow of water while it senses movement. This way, you can pass through the dramatic waterfall without getting drenched completely. However, you can also wear a poncho, in case you just don’t want to get wet at all. But, the swing is located right by the beach, so you can be sure your clothes will dry up pretty fast.
The Instagram-able water swing is open to the public daily from 1pm to 10pm until October 29. With the Atlantis as its backdrop, the swing is sure to garner much attention! The best part is, it’s completely free and open to any member of the public.
