Atlantis waterpark....

So we got up early to get the metro to Dubai internet city. I don't need to tell you how good the metro is again , but everytime we needed to top up we would just go to the information desk and they do it straight away and tell you if you need a new card if your doing more than one zone.

We got to Dubai internet city and from there we paid 20 dhms in a taxi to get the palm monorail. We had a Dubai entertainer voucher so it was buy one get one free. So it worked out at 30 dhms return for both of us. The monorail is fantastic, so quick and direct but you get some great photos of Atlantis too. It drops you off at Atlantis' entrance and if you walk through straight to the middle with the bigfish dome on the ceiling then turn left , you'll find the area to purchase your tickets and enter the park. The tickets are 300dhms each and lockers & towel combo , 50 dhms , these were on the entertainer vouchers too.

The lockers were straight on the left and easy to use. You can't bring your own food & drink and they do check your bags so bring lots of cash as it was 70 dhms each for burger , chips and a drink !!

It's worth bearing in mind that there are waterproof go pros to rent and they allow you on rides with your camera phone in a waterproof bag. Alot of the rides use rubber rings which you can get from any of the pools. The 'temple' at the far side with rides, doesn't use rings so you will be told to discard them once you hit the beach. Most the rides can be linked with each other using the lazy river which is a plus. We wore waterproof diving shoes which they allowed on all the rides.

This was a great day out and we went on a Monday and it was practically empty. We stayed here until closing and went on every ride and throughly enjoyed it. We had some piz buin bracelets that hold suncream which were reallt useful when your suncream is starting to wash off you can reapply without going back to your locker. Plus it was only a pound from poundland, bargain !!

We got the monorail back around half six , they come every twenty mins and at half six the sun set and the buildings have lights on and we got some great pictures.

From the monorail we walked along the seafrony to gst some great photos, we did walk a while towards the buildings , so far that we ended up walking to the Nakheel metro station so we managed to save some money and had our scrummy pizzas from Spinneys for 10dhms and they are so lovely !!

Early morning start for our flight which we will get the metro for as its so much cheaper.
