At Dubai Mall, walk beneath sharks and rays, visit rainforest, rocky shore, and ocean habitats, and choose extras such as a glass-bottom boat, fish feeding, otter or Gentoo penguin encounters, and behind-the-scenes access. Allow one to three hours, depending on your pass.

“We had an absolutely amazing experience at the Aquarium! Everything was beautifully organized, the animals were well cared for, and the entire atmosphere felt magical and immersive. The animal encounter was truly special and unforgettable – such a unique opportunity to connect so closely with them. One small note: the photos taken during the animal encounter are quite expensive, and phones are not permitted during that part of the experience. It would have been nice to have more flexibility there .overall, though, it was a wonderful experience and definitely worth visiting.”
