2. Loopagoon, Half Moon Bay

The Eastern Province is home to the First Ladies-only water park in Half Moon Bay. If you’re looking for a girls day out or a mom and kids outing, look no further. Loopagoon is a mega-sized waterpark that will help you stay cool all summer long. Instead of coasters, you’ll get your adrenaline rush with jumbo water slides, wave pools, as well as splash pads and a lazy river for some calmer fun.

1. Al Shalal Theme Park, Jeddah

Overlooking the beautiful Jeddah waterfront, Al Shallal is the ultimate saudi theme park. It’s like Saudi’s answer to Disney World. Coaster lovers will love thrill-inducing rides like the aptly names sling shot and super shot — definitely not for the faint of heart. Younger kids can have as much fun with bumper cars or the spinning tea cups and much much more. The huge park has ample facilities for dining and also holds ladies days sometimes.
