Empty your wardrobe and dive into a waterpark this summer: Wild Wadi is offering free entry every Monday during Ramadan in return for charitable clothing donations to support the Beit Al Kheir Society, a non-profit organisation reaching out to underprivileged families in the UAE.
All visitors need to do is donate three items of clothing on a Monday during the holy month and they get to enjoy the outdoor waterpark for free between 3pm and 7pm. Special containers will be placed at the registration area where any piece of clothing in good condition can be donated.
