A travel guide to the best places to visit

Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo

The Dubai Aquarium is the biggest aquarium in the world and part of the Dubai Underwater Zoo, with tens of thousands of animals of seventy different species. You can find this gigantic attraction at the Dubai Mall.

You can walk through a 48 meter glass tunnel through the aquarium to have yourself immersed with the aquatic world all around you. But it’s also possible to go shark diving into the aquarium, between sharks, stingrays and schools of fish and experience the animals up close. For the less adventurous among us it’s also possible to go snorkeling in the aquarium inside a steel cage, so there is something for everyone.

You can see a large part of the aquarium from the Dubai Mall, but if you wish to go inside the immersive glass tunnel or if you desire to go diving inside the aquarium then you need tickets for the Dubai Underwater Zoo. The Dubai Underwater Zoo is an immersive attraction filled with cool animals like the 5 meter King Croc, Giant Octopus and more.
