What to expect
One of the largest suspended aquariums in the world
The 10-million litre Dubai Aquarium tank, located on the Ground Level of The Dubai Mall, is one of the largest suspended aquariums in the world. It houses thousands of aquatic animals, comprising over 140 species. Over 300 Sharks and Rays live in this tank, including the largest collection of Sand Tiger Sharks in the world.
There are numerous ways for visitors to experience the main Aquarium tank, which measures 51 metres in length, 20 metres in width and 11 metres in height:
- The 48 metre walk-through Tunnel provides 270 degree views from 11 metres below the surface of the tank
- Visitors can go on a Glass-bottom boat ride, providing unique views of the tank from beneath their feet
- Those who want to experience a dip in the tank can opt for a Cage Snorkeling Experience
- And for the adventurous ones, a Shark Dive is a once in a lifetime opportunity, bringing you within inches of a large variety of sharks and rays
The world's largest aquarium window brings you face-to-face with enormous Sand Tiger Sharks, graceful Stingrays, giant Groupers and shimming shoals of pelagic fish. It all adds up to an underwater adventure that promises to be truly memorable.
