Where is the Leap of Faith water slide?

From the iconic Mayan Temple slide to the ominous Power Tower, Aquaventure boasts more than 8 thrilling water slides. The Leap of Faith offers a daring and adventurous almost-vertical drop from the top of the iconic Mayan Temple.



The iconic Leap of Faith water slide is located at the Aquaventure Waterpark at the Atlantis, The Palm resort in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This world-famous attraction is known for its near-vertical 27.5-meter (90-foot) drop that sends riders plunging through a transparent acrylic tunnel submerged in a shark-filled lagoon. While many people associate the "Atlantis" name with the Bahamas, the original version of this specific slide design is in Dubai (though the Bahamas location has a very similar Mayan Temple themed slide called the "Leap of Faith" as well). In 2026, the Dubai slide remains a "bucket list" item for thrill-seekers, offering a unique combination of high-speed adrenaline and a close-up view of Cownose rays and sharks. Riders must meet a minimum height requirement of 1.2 meters, and it is highly recommended to keep your arms crossed and legs tucked to ensure a smooth transition into the shark tunnel at the bottom of the legendary drop.

Reef shark species, like the white tip and sand tiger, look fearsome yet pose (almost) no threat at all. Most shallow-water reef sharks like these are simply too timid, too docile, or too uninterested in boney humans to bother, and are the perfect species to seek out for a beginner-friendly shark encounter.
