It made sense and was worth it, especially with the additional activities available to spend time. What was most interesting is seeing how much the Abu Dhabi government is investing in research and conservation efforts to protect species that may be at risk of extinction.

The smoothest process from booking the tickets to hassle free entry It's really a nice experience. This time I was bit tensed as my mom and dad was in visit and they are in 75, so did the booking for them. Must recommend for everyone to book through headout

An Inspiring Visit, Thanks to a Passionate Guide! The National Aquarium is fantastic! Beautifully themed, well-maintained, and filled with incredible species. But our experience was truly elevated by Mr. Pingalathevan Jaysankar. He gave us a fascinating insight into the behind-the-scenes conservation work. His passion for marine life is contagious and his knowledge is impressive. He is a huge asset to your team and the main reason our visit was so memorable. A special thank you to him for his dedication! We hope he gets the recognition he deserves.

Explore the largest aquarium in the Middle East, The National Aquarium Abhu Dhabi, spanning across 10 thematic zones and is home to 330 unique species.

The guided behind-the-scenes tour lets you venture into the inner sanctum of the aquarium and see the work of the marine experts who care for its inhabitants.

Whether you want to do the daring Glass Bridge walk or want to see the marine world beneath your feet during a dhow ride, the All-Access Pass includes both.

See the largest living snake in the world, the Super Snake along with hammerhead sharks and bull sharks among the vast biodiversity present.
