The experience was nothing short of amazing. Parking was easy and the admittance to the aquarium was smooth. We really enjoyed everything there and it was very kid friendly. And thanks to Headout we got discounted tickets! I would love to visit again.

An unforgettable experience! I was pleasantly surprised to find that Headout offered tickets 100 AED cheaper than the on-site counter. A must-visit attraction, and I highly recommend checking Headout first for the best pricing.

Absolutely loved our visit to the National Aquarium! The exhibits are beautifully designed, the sea life is incredible, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Great for all ages, and we'll definitely be back!

Visit the largest aquarium in the Middle East, the National Aquarium of Abu Dhabi, and see 35,000 aquatic animals and birds across 10 themed zones.

Whether you want to learn about the aquarium's turtle rehabilitation efforts or the UAE's history as a pearl-diving community, the aquarium is your go-to destination.

Explore the sunken wrecks of the Red Sea, where corals and tropical fish have made their homes, and see lobsters and sea sponges in the Atlantic Caves.

Upgrade your ticket to include a glass bridge walk or a glass bottom boat tour, or go for the all-access pass which also includes a behind-the-scenes guided tour.

Fun fact: Nearly all the sea turtles at the aquarium are rescues. Once they are rehabilitated, they are released back into the Arabian Sea.
