Please forgive this if you feel it is a stupid question.

With August and Ramadan and School Holidays, what is the policy for water parks, and other outdoor tourist attractions in regard to water consumption.
For example are they closed, just in case a Muslim guest swallows a mouthfull of water.

Do they have a secret stock of bottled water, at the usual high mark up.
or do they have a fleet of ambulances for the dehydrated guest to shuttle to hospital.

Just asking.

I don't think Muslims go to these park on Ramadan. although I think the water parks are open for the foreigners and maybe none fasting who call them self Muslims:=.

I have known a 5* hotel in Riyadh which closed the swimming pool just in case a fasting Moslem accidentally ingested some H2O. True. That's what the Swiss Manager told me when I complained.

As for water parks and other tourist attractions AFAIK they are open as usual (maybe with different hours) but no-one should eat or drink in a public place between sun up and sundown.

are they expected to work outside all day and have no water......
On SZR today, passed on road gang working, and the water pot was in the usual place on back of truck.
