How to get there

N24° 51' 01.5048"E50° 51' 40.6656"
This image of Whizzard Mat Racer was taken inside Desert Falls Water & Adventure Park, which is next to the Hilton Salwa Beach Resort & Villas property. For hotel guests, you're just a quick walk to the waterpark. If you're coming from Doha, the drive will be about an hour and a half until you reach the waterpark. The waterpark is open to the public, so even if you're not a guest of the hotel, you can still visit. Once you're inside the park, head all the way back to Whizzard Mat Racer to find this view. You can also reference the GPS coordinates to find the exact spot where I stood to capture this view. Visit the waterpark's website for more info: www.salwabeachresort.qa/desert-falls-water-adventure-park

Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
Whizzard Mat Racer in Desert Falls Water & Adventure Park is great any month of the year, but it's even better during the summer months when it's hot outside and you can cool down in the water.
Morning, midday and late afternoon will produce similar lighting conditions. If you want to avoid crowds, I recommend visiting in the morning.

Field tips

To protect your gear, bring either a housing or an underwater case if you are trying to take photos/videos.
Photograph at a fast shutter speed (1/500 sec) to take a sharp image. If your camera has autofocus tracking, be sure to turn that on, as people coming down the slide are fast-moving.
Incorporating a model into your frame will breathe some life into the photo and create more of a lifestyle shot. Capture friends racing if you can!
If there is a lot of glare, make sure to use a polarizer filter on your lens.
