Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo

Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo

Some wonders in the world surpass even the wildest imagination, once deemed impossible but brought to life in Dubai. A prime example is the Dubai Mall Aquarium, famously known as the Dubai Aquarium.

This is no ordinary aquarium; it is the world’s largest suspended acrylic aquarium, stretching from the ground floor to the third level of the Dubai Mall. Housing over 33,000 exotic marine life species, the sheer scale of the Dubai Aquarium will captivate and amaze you.

Dive into the aquatic world where you can encounter a 40-year-old giant crocodile weighing 750 kg, along with pelagic fish, piranhas, penguins, lizards, snakes, sharks, and countless other incredible species. The Dubai Aquarium, with its 10-million-liter water tank, embodies the beauty, tranquility, and depth of the underwater world.

With Al Emirates Tours, you’ll also experience the 180-degree Aquarium Tunnel, the Underwater Zoo, a Behind the Scenes tour, and much more, depending on your chosen package. Don’t miss the Submersible Simulator, which takes you on a virtual adventure among dugongs, whale sharks, and other sea creatures. Enjoy the Big Screen Theatre, which showcases how the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo team expertly cares for over 3,000 visitors daily, and the Aquarium Glass Bottom Boat, where you can watch thousands of animals swim beneath your feet. No matter which options you choose, your visit to the Dubai Aquarium, the tunnel, and the underwater zoo will be inspirational, absorbing, and exciting.
