About Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

Dubai Aquarium is home to thousands of aquatic animals, representing hundreds of marine species within our massive 10 million litre aquarium. The Underwater Zoo takes visitors through different aquatic environments, including rainforests, touch ponds and UAE's nocturnal creatures. Experience the aquarium by walking along the 48-meter long Aquarium tunnel and participate in a host of activities such as: Shark Encounter: Get up close and personal with the sharks. Safely enclosed in the diving cage, the divers will lure the sharks towards them to feed bringing you face-to-face with these magnificent sand tiger sharks. Following this experience, there is a tour of the facilities, feeding of the baby sharks and learning about the shark breeding programme. For the first time, there is no requirement for diving experience making it accessible to every individual. Cage Snorkelling: Experience a close encounter and view over 70 different marine species including 300 sharks and rays.
