About Tour
Pick Up From The Hotel (10:00 Hrs) and Duration (5 Hrs)
Dubai Mall’s most mesmerising sight is this gargantuan aquarium where 33,000 beasties flit and dart amid artificial coral and behind the ‘world’s largest acrylic viewing panel’ (as recorded in the Guinness World Records). Sharks and rays are top attractions, but other crowd-pleasers include a sumo-sized giant grouper and massive schools of pelagic fish.
Designed to world-class standards, the aquarium allows you to experience the exotic wonders of aquatic life first-hand through breathtaking views and a choice of leisure and dining activities. Located strategically in the center of the mall, the 50m long aquarium is flanked by two glass tunnels at varying levels offering windows into the incredible diversity of marine life. Travelling through these, you will be treated to an exceptional underwater experience as you see eye-to-eye with sharks, stingrays and other species of fish in their natural habitat. The very worthwhile Underwater Zoo journeys through three eco-zones: rainforest, rocky shore and Living Ocean, and a total of 38 aquatic displays. There are lots of rare and interesting denizens here, including air-breathing African lungfish, cheeky archerfish that catch insects by shooting water, spooky giant spider crabs and otherworldly sea dragons.
