S QATAR’S PREMIER AND ONLY WATER THEME PARK,

Aqua Park has built a strong presence and a solid

reputation thanks to its remarkable commitment to

hospitality and unwavering dedication to the highest

standards of service and facilities offered to its varied

guests and clients.

Sprawled elegantly amidst the business district of Doha,

Aqua Park is right in the heartbeat of the Gulf region where

easy access and focal entry for GCC countries is one of the

major advantages. It is only a 30-minute drive from Salwa and

C-Ring Road, and a 15-minute drive from the busy industrial

area where all the manufacturing and other oil and gas com-

panies are present. Also, the facility is just stone’s throw away

from the Doha Exhibition Center and other major commer-

cial hubs that are teeming with shops, banks, malls and other

recreational establishments.

Aqua Park delivers the concept of ultimate satisfaction

right at the fingertips of its valued guests and clients. This in-

deed becomes the greatest commitment of Aqua Park to pro-

vide excellent facilities and quality services to all our valuable

guests and clients according to Mohd Firdaus Raj, general

manager of the park.

As the needs of the international business and family

communities become more complex and demanding, the

clamor for innovative, full-scale recreation facilities and en-

tertainment has become even more vital. It is in this spirit of

proactive response that Aqua Park wishes to be known and

respected for.

Inside the facilityThe Aqua Park extends to an area of 50,000 square meters (approx. 12.4 acres), featuring a

giant wave pool with six different patterns of artificial waves, a 200-meter leisure river excellent for pool relaxation, a children’s activity pool with five colored slides and a giant tipping bucket which automatically pours 2,000 gallons of water—the main attraction for children of all ages. There are also multiple lane slides including a high speed, side-by-side multi-lane slide which features four colorful lanes and allows riders to slide downhill against each other. The park also features a lagoon with Jacuzzi, which makes it a prime place to rejuvenate mind, body and spirit. It has a special juice bar station and restaurant to quench your thirst and waterfalls. Last but not least, the “African Village” is especially designed for toddlers. The shallow water playground with animal shaped slides and mushroom showers makes “African Village” more exciting and fun for everyone. Among the major attractions of Aqua Park are the newly-built “Boomerango” and “Spaceboat,” which are the most thrilling and exciting rides at the park.

Aqua Park opens daily from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. During weekends (Thurs – Satur-day), the park operates from 10:00 a.m to 10:00 p.m. Family day is set every Friday, while Tuesday is exclusively for ladies starting at 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Making guests feel at homeGuests are right when they say that the park has everything to suit your every mood. Nes-

tled right in the heart of Doha, the Aqua Park is a world apart. The landscaped gardens, com-plete with paved pathways, meandering streams, waterfalls, wooden bridges and quaint little shelters, transport you to a tropical paradise while the shaded little cove and private pool make you feel as if you are on a Caribbean island. The entire property is tranquil by day—idyllic, perfect for a relaxed vacation coupled with fun and entertainment. But by night, the mood changes when the restaurants come alive with music, exotic food and people who love the good life.

The Aqua Park is one of the most popular private water theme parks in Doha. It is recognized both for being an exclusive resort for corporate and leisure guests, as well as a water theme park that provides impressive facilities, excellent restaurants and superb levels of service.

Its strategic location from so many major cities makes it the perfect choice for an alternative venue for outdoor events. A major pleasure palace in its own right, Aqua Park is also a prime venue for all types of business and corporate requirements which will soon launch in the 3rd quarter of this year. It features one of the biggest, most efficient and reliable conference and banquet areas that can accommodate all kinds of business and corporate-related events. Its lush greenery spots and well-maintained landscaping provide excellent facilities for hosting confer-ences and banquets such as product launches, corporate anniversaries, sales conventions, meet-ings, seminars, weddings and other important occasions which can receive up to 500 guests.

A major drawAqua Park has become a major attraction for the state of Qatar providing enormous rec-

reational water facilities that has been well-received by guests and clients.It is designed to enrich the closeness of family and unity among employee’s team mem-

Aqua Park has the advantage of being the premier five-star waterpark resort complex in what is today one of the world’s fastest growing tourist destinations. The park provides the facilities and ambience rightly suited to the discerning business or leisure guest in Qatar.
