ADITIONAL
INFO
Dubai Flight Arrivals -
Virgin Holidays' transfers in Dubai are direct to your chosen hotel. Transfer
times may vary due to traffic conditions. The Virgin Atlantic flight to Dubai
arrives early in the morning. Hotel check-in times start at 2.00pm. You will be
able to store your bags at the hotel and use the hotel facilities until your
room becomes available. If you would like to check in on arrival, you will need
to pay for an additional night's accommodation.
Religious Periods - During the
holy month of Ramadan (31 Jul-30 Aug 2011), Eid and other religious festivals,
there are restrictions on alcohol consumption and entertainment from dawn until
dusk when all Muslims must fast. However, public areas come alive at night with
feasting and celebration, so it's a great time to experience the culture and
tradition of the UAE.
The Changing Face of
Dubai - As one of the
world’s fastest growing holiday destinations, development in Dubai is ongoing,
so please be aware that there may be some disturbance during your stay. Here’s
a brief update on the major projects:
The Palms – 3 of the
largest man made islands on earth, each in the shape of a palm tree, are being
created off Dubai’s coastline. The Palm Jumeirah is already open - a haven of
residence and hotels including Atlantis, The Palm opened in Autumn 08, though
with 25 hotels to be constructed here development is ongoing. The Palm Jebel
Ali and the Palm Deira, are still under construction.

Islands Almost 300 man-made islands built to resemble a map of the world,
accessed by boat or helicopter is also still under construction.
Dubai Monorail - Will link
Dubai airport to Jumeirah Beach and the Jumeirah Palm from late 2009.
Tantrum Alley and Burj Surj join Wild
Wadi’s list of thrilling attractions.
Wild Wadi Waterpark unveiled the latest additions to the park - ‘Tantrum Alley’ and ‘Burj Surj’ – to the public on
the 11th of January 2011, at 11am. Wild Wadi has been Dubai’s favorite family
destination for the last eleven years, and the new rides are set to make the
experience even better.
Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Madinat Jumeirah, Jumeirah
Zabeel Saray and Jumeirah Living World Trade Centre Residence allow you and
your family to experience the wildest waterpark in the Middle East. Wild Wadi
is situated next to our beachside hotels, in front of Burj Al Arab. Stay with
Jumeirah and take advantage of complementary access and shuttle service to Wild
Wadi.
‘Tantrum Alley’ is a ride
that incorporates two large sections of downhill waterslides and three exciting
tornadoes. Guests seated on a four-person tube will travel downhill to enter
the first tornado where they slide back and forth several times, then circle
around and around in the eye of the storm before exiting and hitting the second
tornado, and then a third, after which they splash out into the pool.
The equally adventurous ‘Burj
Surj’ consists of two large sections of downhill waterslides and
two looming ‘Bowls’. Guests are seated on a four-person tube, travelling
downhill to the bowls, where they are hurtled into a spiralling spin and then
dropped into the slide, ending with a screaming splash in the pool.
