Great experience away from the skyscrapers where you feel connected to nature with the desert and the sand. We had also ordered VIP tickets, as well as an extended camel ride (15min) and took a few photos with the hawk. Together with the show (belly dance, fire show and dress dance) and the delicious buffet, it was a successful evening. Our driver Najam picked us up from the hotel on time and took us on an adventurous desert drive to the show and brought us back safely. One star deduction for the fact that before, during and after the show you are constantly asked by the stall operators if you want to buy something even though you have already declined several times. All in all, a great experience that I would recommend.

Very immersive and good virtual experience. The immersive Aya universe hooked me from the first moment. The seamless blend of narrative, visuals, and sound design drew me in, making me feel like a resident of Aya rather than a spectator. The world-building is rich without being overwhelming, and the attention to detail— from character micro-expressions to environmental storytelling— is outstanding. Aya delivers a deeply immersive experience that leverages its universe to tell a compelling, emotionally resonant story. With a few enhancements, it could become a standout benchmark for interactive worlds.

Absolutely amazing experience! 🐟 I visited Dubai Aquarium and it was one of the most beautiful attractions in Dubai. The place is well-organized, super clean, and the underwater view is breathtaking. Watching the sharks, rays, and colorful fish feels like being deep in the ocean. The staff were kind and professional. Highly recommend it to families and anyone who loves marine life. Truly unforgettable! 💙
