Experiencing the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo at Dubai Mall, United Arab Emirates

Good day, everyone! It is simply impossible to visit Dubai and not visit the Dubai Mall, the largest shopping and entertainment centre in the world.

I was particularly impressed by the Dubai Aquarium (listed in the Guinness Book of Records) and the Underwater Zoo, located on the first floor of the shopping centre.

The aquarium holds 10 million litres of water and has the world’s largest glass viewing panel, through which you can admire the marine life (there are as many as 33,000 of them).Sharks, stingrays, various fish… isn’t it beautiful?

Under the aquarium is a tunnel 32.8 m wide and 8.3 m high. It’s just amazing when a school of huge fish, giant stingrays or a shark swim over your head!If you’re lucky, you can catch the sharks and stingrays being fed. The cool, dark cave with a dozen toothy sharks is thrilling, not just for kids (it gives you goosebumps).

Above the aquarium is a zoo exhibition with various animals (I captured some of them 😉 Want to conquer the fish yourself? It’s easy! On the second floor, there is a shop selling toys and souvenirs.

Don’t want to pay for admission and go through the tunnel? Watch and take photos against the backdrop of fish, stingrays and sharks for free (the outside of this wonderful aquarium is open to all visitors to the shopping and entertainment centre).

But I still recommend not skimping on the money and going inside the tunnel to visit the zoo. I guarantee you’ll have a great time!

I hope this was helpful to someone.
