The Lost Paradise of Dilmun (LPOD) rolls out an exciting array of events and activities this summer. The water park presents a cooling oasis that provides a muchdeserved treat after the long month of Ramadan; it is replete with rides, great food and entertainment. Developed by the Al Areen Holding Company, the water park covers an overall area of 77,000 square metres with a built-up area of 45,000 square metres. Enjoy the wave pool, while the kids make sand castles at the beach. Those looking for more action can take the family raft ride, the tallest ride in the park that spins and speeds down the long, winding chute before splash landing into the pool below. If this doesn’t excite you, then head to Boomerango. The giant pendulum-style slide features slides all the way down and then defies gravity by sliding all the way back up! The Kids’ Rainforest, with its water hoses, buckets and mini slides, keeps the little ones engaged and entertained for hours. At any point if you think you’ve spent all your energy, float along the Lazy River, bobbing gently through the caves and waterfalls. There’s also a therapeutic spa pool where various jets soothe your muscles. Enjoy a drink or a light snack at the pool bar. You can also have a lunch break at LPOD’s restaurant.
