Ice Land Waterpark - Ras al Khaimah

Ice Land waterpark is a very convincing winter themed water park near Ras al Khaimah.  Lauren absolutely LOVES penguins so this place was an enormous hit.  It was February, a.k.a. the middle of winter in the UAE, so temps were in the low-80s...frigid.  There was some wind coming up, hence the haze.  As you'll see below, though, we were almost the only people there.  The food was great, the rides fun, and no lines.

 "Crowded" Kid's Cove - zero entry and a dozen or more  waterslides

 The wave pool - again, not too crowded
