The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi is a breathtaking journey into the heart of the aquatic world, masterfully arranged into distinct, immersive zones. Its brilliant categorization, from the sun-drenched UAE National to the mysterious Atlantic Cave, tells a compelling global water story. The sheer diversity is staggering; we marvelled at sleek sharks and graceful rays in the vast Open Ocean, then encountered playful otters and mesmerizing jellyfish. The adventure extends beyond water, with exotic birds like the magnificent macaws adding a vibrant splash of colour. Every detail is curated for wonder, making it an unmissable, world-class attraction that educates and inspires awe in visitors of all ages. A truly phenomenal experience.

Completely different to SeaWorld but massively worthwhile experience. The national aquarium provides a small bit very calming interaction with native species of fish. The entrance is through a lovely open area with sharks and rays that you interact with from a birds eye perspective that really allows you to see these creatures up close. There is a wonderful series of animal encounters of copabara and sea otters. Then ain tunnel through the shark tank is fantastic to view the jammer heads. It is not a huge space like SeaWorld and as such can easily be managed in a couple of hours. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Worth a visit of you have time

    The overall experience was one of a kind. Me and my daughter had a great time witnessing some of the most prehistoric animals we could see. We were able to expand our knowledge and most importantly learn oh how to protect our environment in the best possible way.
