The aquarium is a must see when in Dubai. The zoo that is as well part of the visit is perfect too! If you want to see something special, come to the aquarium in the afternoon hours, around 3pm, there is marmaids having a show in the aquarium... The staff at the aquarium are always happy to reply to questions and are very nice, knowledge and outgoing!

Hi, Your service is authentic and convenient to travellers like us. We enjoyed all .But still I suggest , In under water zoo and Acqurium nothing is very special than the creation, the marine technology and spacing of all in one place like boating , diving etc ., ( for experience ) and the price is high for small experience there . Where as the Marine life and the collection of zoo animals are more in other places of the world. Dubai frame is worth watching and a thrill

We had the most incredible desert safari experience, all thanks to Fahad! His energy, expertise, and warm personality made the adventure unforgettable. From the thrilling dune bashing to the serene camel ride, Fahad made sure every moment was fun and safe. He also clicked some amazing photos for us, capturing the beauty of the desert perfectly. Despite a few last-minute requests, Fahad happily accommodated everything with a smile. He was knowledgeable about the desert, super attentive to everyone’s needs, and had a great sense of humor that kept us entertained throughout. Highly recommend booking with Fahad if you want a top-tier desert safari!

A walk through the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

Want a perfect outing for your kids? Look no further than the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, offering a glimpse of marine creatures found across the globe. Step into the 48-meter-long aquarium tunnel where you'll be surrounded by marine species from the open ocean, with the possibility of witnessing divers feeding sharks and rays, adding an extra thrill to the adventure.

Located on level two above the aquarium tank, the underwater zoo allows you to discover the amazing range of aquatic animals through 40 different display tanks. You can explore three distinct zones: the Rocky Shore, where resilient aquatic life adapted to harsh coastal environments thrive; the Rainforest, teeming with vibrant freshwater animals such as playful otters and formidable piranhas; and the Living Ocean, offering a glimpse into the mysteries of the deep sea with creatures like Sea Dragons and Sea Jellies.

Unforgettable animal encounters

Further upgrade your ticket for a glass-bottom boat ride, perfect for families. Notice the schools of colorful fish that glide under your feet. You can even opt to visit the Penguin Cove to admire the cute Gentoo penguins. This group activity is a fun way to learn about and appreciate the marine life found at Dubai Aquarium.
