The Lost Paradise of Dilmun Water Park, in Manama, claims to be the biggest in the Middle East. Beat the heat in one of the many pools, ride the slides or try the family raft ride.
The lush green oasis has waterfalls, submarine caves and even raging rivers. The high-tech aquatic rides have been set in a landscape aiming to recapture the ancient history of Bahrain by integrating the Dilmun period into the park's theme.
Dilmun is the setting of the Sumerian creation myth and is described as "the place where the sun rises". According to legend it was here that Ziusudra, the hero of the Sumerian flood, was taken by the gods and given eternal life.
