The deserts of Abu Dhabi might seem like an unusual watersports destination. But a new $50 million man-made aquatic park has become the Middle East’s first destination for white water rafting, kayaking and surfing.
“Back! Back! Now, forward! Stop! GET DOWN, GET DOWN!” Rajendra Shrestha’s voice reverberates through Abu Dhabi’s Jebel Hafeet mountains as we navigate the treacherous twists and turns of the rapids. “He fell off! He fell off!” Shrestha screams as I am abruptly pulled beneath the churning water. Emerging back to the surface, I desperately flail my arms, searching for something to hold onto, hoping to regain stability. “Relax, relax,” he reassures me, his voice cutting through the chaos.
Shrestha joined the Al Ain Adventure team back in 2010, bringing a wealth of experience to the park. He says his favorite part of the job is the unique combination of thrilling sports all in one location. A proving ground for the pros Al Ain Adventure Park has gained international recognition as a hub for sports professionals seeking to hone their skills in various disciplines.
