Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

Visit the most popular aquarium in the Middle East — The Dubai Aquarium. Walk through a 48-meter tunnel under 11 meters of water and enjoy the view of over 33,000 marine creatures, immersing yourself in Poseidon’s underwater kingdom. Countless rays, sharks, moray eels, and colorful exotic fish create a unique atmosphere and make you feel like a true part of the ocean world.

Continue your journey and discover the Underwater Zoo, with three thematic zones showcasing wildlife right in the heart of the world’s largest shopping mall — The Dubai Mall. Forty unique exhibits feature not only marine life but also birds, animals, and arthropods. Among them are giant saltwater crocodiles, adorable otters, fascinating mollusks, and magnificent sea dragons.
