Read "Finding Atlantis in Dubai!!!" on TravelFeed.io for the best experience

Hi Travelfeeders and Steemers 🖐! The Atlantis in Dubai is an iconic resort hotel that sits at the top of the Palm Jumeriah. Just sitting on top of the palm!

Despite the legend it's been hiding here in plain sight since September 2008!

WHAT LEGEND DO YOU SPEAK OF?

The legend of Atlantis has been around for thousands of centuries. With people searching for it for just as long. There's something very intriguing about this ancient civilisation that just disappeared off the face of the Earth. But did it exist at all? Well, Plato the great philosopher who was right about so much, must be right about this? Or not. Thus giving birth to the lost city of Atlantis myth.

THE ATLANTIS IN DUBAI

While the sunken ruins of Atlantis are still to been found, for now this 5 star resort is the next best thing. Atlantis was seen as a technological advanced and wealthy soceity so it def seems at home here in Dubai.

An underwater theme is present throughout.

Featuring countless swimming pools and private beach to kick back and relax.

It also has it's own water park, dolphin bay and aquarium! There is also heaps of shops, bars, restaurants, a spa and an entertainment precinct all on site.

So no need to leave this modern Alantis utopia!

AQUAVENTURE WATERPARK

Entry to the water park is free if you're staying at Atlantis. Or you can get one or two day passes online or at the gate. Park is open from 10am to 6pm daily. All up the park has 30 slides and attractions.

My favourites were: Leap of Faith - a 9 storey high slide through a tank filled with sharks! Rapid river - floating down a river with make shift rapids.

Least favourite: Poseidon's revenge - hated the floor dropping out from beneath me!

LOST CHAMBERS AQUARIUM

This aquarium is the largest in the UAE and houses 21 exhibits and an impressive 11 million litre tank!

Open daily from 10am - 10pm. Also free to visit if you're staying in the hotel.

Walk along the chambers admiring this underwater world of sharks, rays and coloured fish.

Or take one of the many yoga classes they hold there!

OCEAN KING ROOM

Our room was on the 16th floor in the West tower.

Super spacious with comfy king size bed, massive bathroom and balcony. Pretty nice view from up here!

HEAPS OF DINING OPTIONS

With plenty to choose from, ranging from casual to fine dining, you will be spoilt for choice.

Think buffets, a la carte and celebrity restaurants with everything in between!

It's worth while looking into the half board and full board options when booking your room.

Otherwise you can just pay as you eat.

So until the real Atlantis is found, why not stay at it's modern day alternative?

Was a perfect place for a stopover to break up the long flight from Cape Town to Brisbane! For more info and to book directly check out 👇 https://www.atlantis.com/dubai Happy travels 😁✈!!!
