Award-winning entrepreneur Ahmed Ben Chaibah opens the story of AquaFun with a moment at the beach. While relaxing in the sun, Ahmed overheard a parent complain about how they wished their kids could have fun in a way that let them have peace. The single lightbulb moment led Ahmed to build what would eventually become the biggest inflatable waterpark in the world.
Ahmed shares how success does not come without brave, inspired risk. He shares how he let himself go into debt in order to finance the structuring of the waterpark into its iconic Dubai shape. Years later, the 44,000 square-meter waterpark has expanded into what Ahmed describes as "the biggest bouncy castle in the world".
And still, Ahmed's ideas keep flowing. He shares his vision for the future of AquaFun, and how they can incorporate advertising in inventive new ways. Listen to the episode to learn more about Ahmed's inspiring journey and ambitious vision, such as:
