Dubai is renowned for its towering skyscrapers, luxurious shopping malls, and breathtaking architectural wonders. However, there is one hidden gem that is a must-visit for tourists and locals alike: the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo.

The Location

If you are searching for things to do in Ibn Battuta, a visit to the Dubai Aquarium will be proven worthwhile as it is located in the heart of the Dubai Mall, a mere 27 minutes away from Avani Ibn Battuta Hotel Dubai. The Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo is one of the largest indoor aquariums in the world, home to over 140 species of marine life. With a massive 10 million-litre tank, visitors can experience the beauty of the ocean and its inhabitants up close and personal.

The Structure

The aquarium is a two-story structure with a 90-metre-long tunnel that runs through the centre of the tank. This tunnel provides an unparalleled view of the diverse marine life, from the majestic rays and shivers of colourful fish to the gentle giants of the ocean, the stingrays and the sand tiger sharks.

 Marine Life

In addition to the main tank, the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo also houses several smaller tanks, each showcasing a different type of marine life. Visitors can witness the beauty of sea turtles, seahorses, and jellyfish, as well as learn about their unique habitats and behaviours.

 Activities

For those looking for a more interactive experience, the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo offers several activities, such as cage snorkelling and scuba diving. These activities allow visitors to get up close and personal with the marine life, including the massive sharks and rays.
