a walk through the dubai aquarium and underwater zoo
Want to know what visiting the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo would feel like? Let’s take a walk together, through one of Dubai’s most sprawling attractions, in order of the attractions you’ll see from beginning to end:
Aquarium Tank
The Aquarium Tank is the first thing you’ll see before entering the Aquarium. It is one of the world’s largest suspended aquariums and holds 10-million-liters. Home to 300 sharks and rays, this tank gives visitors an idea of the adventures the aquarium holds inside. Many people take pictures at the Aquarium Tank because you can see it from outside the Aquarium for free. But is that enough? Dare to explore it further?
- Location: Ground Floor
- What To Look For: Sand Tiger Sharks
Aquarium Tunnel
Want to know what it’d be like to walk on the ocean beds as the marine animals swim peacefully above you? That is what the Aquarium Tunnel gives you. Walk through a 48-meter-long aquarium tunnel that lets you explore the diversity of marine species that inhabit the open ocean. If you’re lucky, you might even see divers feeding sharks and rays.
- Location: Ground Floor
- What To Look For: Sand Tiger Sharks
Underwater Zoo
Once you’re outside the tunnel, take the escalator up to the 2nd floor, where the Underwater Zoo awaits you. You’ll find 40 displays of aquatic animals: from seahorses to crocodiles, you’ll see them all! As you enter, you’ll be asked to pose for a photograph with an underwater background. Proceed further inside, where the Underwater Zoo splits into three zones: Rainforest, Rocky Shore and Living Ocean.
- Location: 2nd Floor
- What To Look For: Otters, Pirhanas, Sea Dragons & more
1. Rocky Shore
When land meets the sea, you’ll find a tough terrain, suitable only for the tough to survive and thrive. It is a harsh environment, and if you’re up for it, reach out and feel some of the harder rock pool inhabitants of the rocky shore!
2. Rainforest
Ever wondered about the animals that live in a rainforest? Picture yourself walking through the banks of a river bed that houses the world’s most stunning freshwater animals ever: from the playful otter to the dangerous piranha, you’ll see them all.
3. Living Ocean
Similar to the actual sea, the Living Ocean displays animals of the deep sea. Look out for Sea Dragons, Sea Jellies, and some deadly fish.
ENCOUNTERS @ THE DUBAI AQUARIUM
Penguin Encounter: Let’s Gentooo! Upgrade your tickets to include a visit to the Gentoo Penguins’ facility, home to 8 male and 8 female Gentoo Penguins!
King Croc Encounter: Look into the eyes of nature’s most feared reptiles to have lived: the King Crocodile. Weighing 750 kgs and measuring over 5 meters in length, this 40-year-old comes all the way from Australia!
Otter Encounter: Wave at a family of Asian small-clawed otters, who are feistier than ever. Enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of the Otter’s home, where you can interact with the animals up close.
Ray Encounter: Say hi to Dubai Aquarium’s Eagle Rays and Cow-nose rays! Get up close to these inquisitive yet gentle and adorable creatures that scour the waters for the fish in your hands (this is a perfectly safe encounter).
EXPERIENCES @ THE DUBAI AQUARIUM
Cage snorkeling
Feeling a little anxious about swimming alongside fish and predators of the ocean? That’s fine, engage in a safe yet delightful activity of snorkeling in a cage: this gives you a safety barrier between you and the animals, but lets you experience the aquatic beauty first hand.
- Level of adventure: Medium
Shark dive
Needless to say, this is not for the faint at heart. Dive into a 10-million-liter tank and swim alongside sand tiger sharks. This is safe for both experienced and inexperienced divers, as an instructor will accompany you throughout.
- Level of adventure: High
Scuba dive
Many have touted the Dubai Aquarium as a good place to start scuba diving. Dive in and admire the large array of aquatic animals that swim peacefully alongside you, in close quarters.
- Level of adventure: High
Glass-bottom boat ride
A glass-bottom boat ride is perfect for families. Hop aboard a boat with a glass bottom, and notice the schools of colorful fish that glide under your feet. This group activity is a fun way to learn about and appreciate the great aquatic life of Dubai Aquarium.
- Level of adventure: Low
