Our trip to 'Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo'

in #travel7 years ago

On our first family outing in Dubai, we had the privilege to visit The Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo.  This was such an amazing experience, that it would be unfair not to share some photos.

 The 10 million-litre tank at the Dubai Aquarium is one of the largest in the world, containing more than 33,000 aquatic animals and the largest collection of sand tiger sharks anywhere.Rising to the third floor of The Dubai Mall, the aquarium is home to 140 species of sea life and has several ways to experience underwater life, starting with a stroll through a 48-metre walk-through tunnel. It's a complete fish-eye view, with sand tiger sharks and stingrays swimming overhead.You can also take a glass-bottom boat tour, get wet in a snorkelling cage and even don an oxygen tank to go swimming with the sharks.

The photos are cool! Though i actually expected the place to be like more elegant considering it's Dubai haha! Are there other good places in Dubai to visit that you'd recommend? Never really visited there other than taking a transfer flight. Would be nice if you could share more! Upvoted :)

Hi @rayccy , the place is actually very elegant . It's in Dubai Mall so you should expect nothing less than elegant. I will be doing a post soon about things to do and see in Dubai, so watch out for that.
Thank you for your comment and upvote, appreciate it!

Wow, i actually didn't think it is in a mall! That's incredible. Then the mall must be super big.. considering the size of the aquarium. Dubai doesn't fail to amaze me haha. Will have a close look at your upcoming post not to miss it!

Yes, the Dubai Mall is huge! I don't even think it's possible to see everything there is in one day only. Definitely something to be seen. On the outside is the Dubai fountains, which is a show they do every half an hour with music and water, which is said can be seen from the moon...?? Well, I haven't been on the moon yet, so I wouldn't know, but it's amazing to see.
Thank you for your curiosity, I will start working on that post soon

Really? I think that's too exaggerated LOL i wouldn't believe i could see it from the moon even if i haven't been to the moon! Is it a very commercialized place? Never really heard of many tourist spots there. Cant wait to see your next post haha work hard for that!
