Gazing upon life underwater would not suffice in modern times. It is important to take the plunge, and be a part of an otherworldly experience. The Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo caters to the needs of all types of adventurers, those who are innate daredevils or those who prefer to experience thrills from a safe distance. The aquarium and zoo are located within the Dubai Mall, the world’s second largest shopping mall. Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort is an ideally located Palm Jumeirah hotel and is a convenient base from which to explore Dubai and its aquarium and underwater zoo.

The 48 metre aquarium tunnel, the Rocky Shore Living Ocean Environments and UAE Night Creature are visually stunning. When exploring these spaces, you would experience many jaw-dropping moments.

Dare to swim with sharks? This site gives you the opportunity to do so even if you are not an experienced diver or swimmer. The Shark Walker experience is for those who don’t want to even get their hair wet. Locked up in a cage, yet free to roam, you could meet the widely-feared Sand Tiger Sharks. If you prefer a bit more excitement enrol for shark dives and feel the chills as the sharks indicate that intrusions won’t be tolerated!

You also need not ponder ways to capture the memories you make at the underwater zoo. As go pro cameras are widely available, your memories are sure to last a lifetime. You can also train to be a scuba diver in a few days. Your children who are over the age of ten can also enrol if they are keen or even aim to be marine biologists in the future. It is a great place to start!

Undoubtedly, a visit to the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo is not to be missed.
