Dubai for nature lovers

I was visiting with my family. A truly beautiful aquarium with a remarkable variety of saltwater and freshwater species. My daughter was thrilled. The visit was made even more enjoyable thanks to the courtesy of the staff.

We visited the butterfly garden. It was an awesome and peaceful experience, and we enjoyed it very much. The gentle rain outside made nature feel even more friendly.

🐠 Aquarium at Dubai Mall We visited the aquarium at Dubai Mall, and I want to share my honest impression. To be honest, my expectations were higher. Yes, the aquarium is beautiful and modern, certainly better than the Ailand Oceanarium in Kazakhstan, but personally, I didn't get any strong wow effect. I thought it would be larger in scale and more saturated in terms of exhibits. We bought a Silver Pass, and it's important to understand that this does not give you full access. With this ticket, you can only see the basic part of the aquarium. You cannot go downstairs, there is no full route through the tunnels, and additional activities such as close contact with sea creatures or diving are not available. Because of this, it feels like you are not seeing everything, but only part of the exhibition. Overall, the aquarium is worth visiting at least once, especially if you are in the Dubai Mall for the first time, but if you want to get the most out of it, it is better to get the extended ticket right away. ⸻ 🦁 Dubai Safari Park Dubai Safari Park, on the contrary, exceeded expectations. It is a really large, well-designed, and very interesting park. The territory is huge, everything is logically organized, it is convenient to move around, there are recreation areas, shade, and many food outlets. There are many animals, the conditions of their keeping look decent, there is no feeling of crampedness or chaos. The park is ideal for family visits and walks with children. I would like to note a huge plus for Muslims — this is perhaps one of the most comfortable places: • there are prayer rooms throughout the park, • everything is clean, tidy, and well-maintained, • there is a sense of respect for visitors and their needs. As a result, Safari Park left a much more vivid and pleasant impression than the aquarium. This is a place that I would really like to recommend to others.

Wonderful place, clean and organised environment. Friendly and attentive staff. Delicious coffee with tasty options and a pleasant atmosphere. Very interesting and well-organised information about crocodiles. And the experience of holding a baby crocodile was incredible. My family and I love it.

Date: 16 Jan 2026 - Sunrise Desert Safari. We received the driver details by email about 12 hours before the pickup time. The pickup was right on schedule at 5:00 AM from our hotel for the morning desert safari. We drove nearly 70 km away from the city and took a short 10-minute break before entering the desert. Once inside the desert, we were welcomed with Arabic dates and coffee. The driver also helped us with sandboarding and took some great pictures for us. The highlight of the experience was definitely the dune bashing. It was thrilling and intense, though we wished it had lasted another 5-10 minutes. After the dune bashing, we were taken to a spot for breakfast. They offered us sandwiches, croissants, cakes, juice, fruits, and water, and everything tasted fresh and good. Following breakfast, we were dropped back at our hotel. Overall, it was a well organized and memorable experience, and we thoroughly enjoyed the morning safari.
