What is special about the Dubai Aquarium?

The aquarium, which is located on the third level of Dubai Mall, is one of the most well-liked sights in the city for both kids and adults. It provides several amazing opportunities to explore the underwater world and is home to 140 different types of marine life. Wander inside a 48-meter tunnel while the aquarium envelops you from all sides. Stingrays and sand tiger sharks swim overhead, giving the scene a fish-eye perspective.

The King Croc

The King Croc, which is considered a rare phenomenon in nature and one of the largest reptiles in the world at over 5 meters long and more than 750 kg in weight, is an interesting addition to the Underwater Zoo. Originating from Australia, this enormous 40-year-old beast is a marvel of the animal realm.

Over the next 50 years, King Croc, which is now among the largest in the world, is predicted to grow significantly larger. His nearly 80-year-old female partner, “Queen Croc,” has joined him!

Meet the Otters

Of the 13 otter species, this one is the smallest and is indigenous to Asia. In addition to getting to know these endearing and captivating creatures, guests may take a unique behind-the-scenes tour of the otters’ homes at the Underwater Zoo. There’s also an interesting educational otter presentation provided.

The Asian small-clawed otter is the tiniest breed of otter worldwide. It weighs less than 5 kg. These are critically endangered species. Being carnivores by nature, they graze on fish, crabs, snails, and insects while living in swamps, rivers, and rice fields. Otters may consume up to 20% of their body weight per day because of their aggressive hunger. 

Being clever creatures, they excel at utilizing tools. For example, they can pick up stones to crack open mussels.

Feed the Rays

Visit Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo to nourish our daring Eagle Rays and Cownose Rays by hand on our specially made ray feeding platform. Watching these curious yet kind animals break the level of the water to steal fish from your hands is an incredible experience. Rays are amazing creatures. You will giggle when you feed them, and they are completely secure.

Shark trainers

This fun family activity teaches guests about the various kinds of sharks and the treatment of the animals at Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo.. In addition to learning about the habitat, diet, and mating patterns of these animals, guests will have the opportunity to participate in the training of the aquarium’s leopard and bamboo sharks behind closed doors. 

Tourists may enter the tank for a unique “trainer” encounter and engage with the sharks while wearing waterproof waders and submerging themselves to around waist height.
