Accompanied by a very well-trained guide, we were able to enter a sort of hospital for marine animals under the aegis of National Geographics. The Emirates are doing a great deal to preserve underwater flora and fauna, and to educate visitors about plastic pollution and global warming. We even saw a show of otters trained to throw away plastic bottles. Green washing or not, everyone is free to form their own opinion. But one thing is certain, the Emirates are unbeatable when it comes to doing things right. The aquariums are presented with great taste and originality. Who expects to find an old VW Käfer or a telephone booth transformed into an aquarium? They also know how to play with decor and colors to make the show particularly beautiful and attractive. This aquarium isn't the biggest, but it's well worth the trip.

A truly remarkable aquarium. It compares so well with other aquariums I have visited. In this case, however, it just feels like they have gone the extra mile to make the experience feel very polished. The Jungle/forest section with the Capybaras was really amazing. I went on the behind-the-scenes tour and it is worth the extra few Dirham.

An Inspiring Visit, Thanks to a Passionate Guide! The National Aquarium is fantastic! Beautifully themed, well-maintained, and filled with incredible species. But our experience was truly elevated by Mr. Pingalathevan Jaysankar. He gave us a fascinating insight into the behind-the-scenes conservation work. His passion for marine life is contagious and his knowledge is impressive. He is a huge asset to your team and the main reason our visit was so memorable. A special thank you to him for his dedication! We hope he gets the recognition he deserves.
