About this experience
Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo occupies three floors of The Dubai Mall and is built around one of the largest suspended aquarium tanks in the world, holding ten million litres of water. A 48-metre acrylic tunnel runs through it, giving a 270-degree view of more than 33,000 animals including around 300 sharks and rays.
Upstairs, the Underwater Zoo divides 140+ species across three ecological zones: a Rainforest floor with arapaima and piranhas, a Rocky Shore with penguins and otters, and a Living Ocean section holding sea turtles, rays and giant spider crabs. King Croc, a five-metre saltwater crocodile, is the headline resident. Allow around twenty minutes for the tunnel and an hour upstairs.
