About
Quick facts: Under the water, more than 20 sea pools hide over 100 species of animals native to the UAE coast. The youngest visitors delightedly watch rays 'wave' at them as they glide right next to the glass.
Highlights: In a huge transparent acrylic tunnel, you can stand while two-meter-long sharks and giant rays swim right above your head. The sounds of sea currents and muted blue light create a feeling as if you yourself are breathing underwater.
Insider tips
- Bring a raincoat or jacket because the climate inside can be cold even in summer.
- The best photos will be captured in the shark tunnel early in the morning when there are the fewest crowds and the best light.
- Fish and ray feeding takes place daily at 10:30 AM and 3:30 PM, arrive early for a good spot.
- At the exit, do not miss the children's playroom and drawing corner where kids can draw their favorite fish.
