Like the Atlantis Bahamas, Atlantis The Palm has an Aquaventure water park with a near-vertical waterslide. Above: the Leap of Faith waterslide plunges down from the top of the Ziggurat. The slide finishes in a clear tunnel in the shark lagoon.

The Aquaventure area of Atlantis the Palm covers 42 acres (17 hectares), and has a 700-metre beach.
