Allow us to show you how Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo would feel from the comfort of your home! Definitely one of Dubai’s most famous attractions, here is a breakdown of the attractions you’ll see from beginning to end in this journey through the sea.
Aquarium Tank
The Aquarium Tank is what you’ll see right before you enter the Aquarium.

But the journey you will embark on inside will be much more than what the tank can offer!
Aquarium Tunnel
