Dubai has set another world record - this time it's for the world’s largest inflatable water park.

At 42,400 square metres, AquaFun, at The Beach, opposite JBR has been officially awarded the Guinness World Records title.

The record-breaking venture, in partnership with Dubai Festival and Retail Establishments, is designed to excite visitors with world-class attractions during the Dubai Shopping Festival.

AquaFun was first launched in 2016 as a physically challenging and exciting obstacle course on the water, designed for visitors of all ages.

It has since expanded to three times its original size and currently forms the words I love (heart symbol) Expo 2020 Dubai.
