About Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

One of the world's largest indoor aquariums, housed within Dubai Mall. Home to over 33,000 aquatic animals. Walk the 48-metre underwater tunnel, dive with sharks, or snorkel in one of the ocean's most extraordinary replicated ecosystems.

The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is a staggering feat of engineering and marine science, and one of the most visited attractions in the world. Its centrepiece — a 10-million-litre tank holding over 33,000 aquatic animals including sharks, rays, and thousands of fish — can be viewed from Dubai Mall's central walkway through the world's largest acrylic viewing panel, or experienced from within via the 48-metre underwater tunnel. For those seeking deeper interaction, the aquarium offers cage snorkelling, shark diving, glass-bottom boat rides, and a behind-the-scenes tour. The Underwater Zoo above explores freshwater, rocky shore, and rainforest ecosystems.
