Yas Waterworld Brings Back Ladies Day: Friday Is Yas Ladies' Only Special Day
Yas Waterworld has announced it is bringing back ladies' day.
Ladies' day is a common trend among theme parks in Abu Dhabi and other places in the UAE. Yas Waterworld calls theirs Yas Ladies' Only Special, and interested park-goers can obtain a ticket to the event on the Yas Waterworld website.
What Is Yas Ladies' Only Special?
Yas Ladies' Only Special is a weekly ladies' day recurring event, happening from 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. every Friday, except on certain days and public holidays. During this time, Yas Waterworld admits only female patrons and operates with an all-female staff.
The ladies' day event is one of the ways Yas Waterworld ensures inclusivity for women park-goers. The UAE is a Muslim country; modest dressing is recommended for both men and women. Modesty is especially expected in public places, including theme parks, where members of both sexes can be present.
Understandably, women may find this mandate a little restrictive in a water theme park where an abaya and a shayla are less than ideal. As a solution, Yas Waterworld started making one day out of the week exclusively available to female guests.

On any given Yas Ladies' Only Special day, only women are allowed into the waterpark, and only female staff are available to assist them. To further safeguard the guests' privacy, the park also prohibits the use of mobile phones and cameras. While the park has closed-circuit television (CCTV), only female staff can monitor the surveillance cameras.
Yas Ladies' Only Special is perfect for groups of female friends. It is also an excellent bonding activity for mothers and their daughters.
There is one exception to the female-only rule. Mothers may bring their male children along as long as they are no older than eight. Boys seeking admission to the park on a Yas Ladies' Only Special must show their government-issued ID to prove they are within the age limit.
Aside from being an all-ladies day and night, Yas Ladies' Only Special days also provide women access to special events. Women entertainers and performers provide live music performances and DJ beats.
Yas Waterpark Rides and Experiences for You
Visiting during a Yas Ladies' Only Special day is a good strategy not only to ensure your privacy but also to avoid the large crowds present on other days. This water park in the UAE offers some of the most exhilarating rides and slides in the region, so it is naturally a popular attraction among domestic and international tourists.
You can enhance your ladies' day ticket with multiple theme park offers or a Quick Pass, which comes with unlimited priority access to rides and experiences, letting you bypass queues and enjoy as much of the park as possible. You can also book a private cabana, which will give you and your party a comfortable place to rest, relax, and enjoy food and refreshments.
The following are some of the best rides on Yas Waterworld. If you have limited time, make a beeline for these rides.
1. Rush Rider
Rush Rider is a bodyboarding attraction. The ride produces an endless sheet wave with strong water flow and surges. You ride a short, lightweight surfboard (technically a bodyboard) in a prone position and try to remain on your board and control its motion and direction.
2. Bubbles Barrel
Bubbles Barrel is a flowboarding/surfing ride that produces the world's largest sheet wave. A powerful machine creates strong, barrelling waves that you can surf while riding upright on your surfboard.
3. Liwa Loop
The name says it all. The Liwa Loop is a looping-style body speed slide that starts in a one-person capsule. After a countdown, a trap door on the floor will open and send you free-falling through a closed, looping chute and into the pool of water below.
4. Dawwama
Dawwama is a hydromagnetic-powered tornado water coaster for six, the largest in the world. Experience exhilarating speeds as you barrel down the slide from the height of a mountaintop and hurtle around inside a 20-meter-high tornado funnel.
5. Hamlool's Humps
Like the Liwa Loop, Hamlool's Humps is a body-speed slide. Unlike the Liwa Loop, however, Hamlool's Humps comes with a deep, open slide with three massive humps.
6. Slithers Slides
You and up to one companion can ride a floaty down one of the six tube slides that comprise the Slithers Slides. After plunging down your chosen tube, you will take two sharp turns, go through a water curtain and a dark tunnel, and emerge into the ride's landing pool.
7. Sebag
Race your friends on Sebag, a six-lane racer slide you ride while lying prone on a mat. You drop head first — how's that for some thrill?
