Sharks swimming in Dubai Aquarium tunnel

Dubai Aquarium Tickets

Walk through a world of sharks in the iconic 48-metre underwater tunnel inside Dubai Mall.

Dubai Aquarium

The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is a spectacular two-level attraction built around one of the world's largest acrylic viewing panels — 32.88 metres wide and 8.3 metres tall. Home to over 33,000 aquatic animals including 400 sharks and rays, it's a breathtaking underwater world right in the heart of Dubai Mall.

The centrepiece experience is the 48-metre tunnel walk where sand tiger sharks, enormous stingrays, and thousands of tropical fish glide just centimetres above your head. Upstairs, the Underwater Zoo adds another dimension with otters, penguins, a rainforest zone, and a living ocean habitat showcasing 150+ species.
