Everything was ok, except one thing. When I bought the ticket it was written 20AED free voucher in the gift shop of the Aquarium. When we get to the shop, before choosing anything we asked for sure if it is included in our ticket, and they said yes. Than the children selected some items, and we went to the cashier, where they said our ticket does not include this. So it was a bad experience for us. We were searching for the info on the paper ticket what they give us at the entrance counter, but there was really no word about that on the paper ticket. And also when I went to the e-mail confirmation, there was no pdf file. Only the " view in the app" button. So i could not show them the PDF what they were asking for at the cashiers.

We had an incredible experience with our safari driver in Dubai! His name is IMRAN !!!!! ASK FOR HIM !!!From the moment we met him, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly kind, making us feel right at home. His driving skills were exceptional—navigating the desert terrain with ease, giving us an exhilarating and smooth ride throughout the safari. Beyond that, he went above and beyond as a professional photographer, capturing stunning moments for us with expert precision. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our adventure. His professionalism and positive attitude truly made the day unforgettable. Highly recommend!

    Visiting the Burj Khalifa was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The moment you step into the building, everything feels grand and futuristic. The elevator ride to the top was incredibly smooth and fast—it took less than a minute to reach the 124th floor! The view from the observation deck is breathtaking. You can see the entire city of Dubai, the desert, and even the coastline. It’s especially beautiful around sunset when the sky changes color and the city lights begin to sparkle. The staff was helpful, and the whole experience was well-organized. We also enjoyed the fountain show right outside, which adds even more magic to the visit. If you're coming to Dubai, the Burj Khalifa is a must-visit landmark. I highly recommend booking your tickets in advance, especially for the sunset slot. It's worth every dirham!

    Ticket purchase was easy, the app was easy to use. The aquarium was great and I really liked the Palm View. Both programs were fantastic, I'm glad I chose this combined solution.

  • A walk through the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

    Want a perfect outing for your kids? Look no further than the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, offering a glimpse of marine creatures found across the globe. Step into the 48-meter-long aquarium tunnel where you'll be surrounded by marine species from the open ocean, with the possibility of witnessing divers feeding sharks and rays, adding an extra thrill to the adventure.

    Located on level two above the aquarium tank, the underwater zoo allows you to discover the amazing range of aquatic animals through 40 different display tanks. You can explore three distinct zones: the Rocky Shore, where resilient aquatic life adapted to harsh coastal environments thrive; the Rainforest, teeming with vibrant freshwater animals such as playful otters and formidable piranhas; and the Living Ocean, offering a glimpse into the mysteries of the deep sea with creatures like Sea Dragons and Sea Jellies.

    Unforgettable animal encounters

    Further upgrade your ticket for a glass-bottom boat ride, perfect for families. Notice the schools of colorful fish that glide under your feet. You can even opt to visit the Penguin Cove to admire the cute Gentoo penguins. This group activity is a fun way to learn about and appreciate the marine life found at Dubai Aquarium. Complete your visit with a guided tour that educates visitors about the different marine species and their environment, feeding, and breeding habitats.
