One day at the Dubai aquarium gives you the chance to see giant marine creatures up close and personal. It will be even better if you visit with family. Be prepared to experience thrill and adventure. If you are planning to spending more than a day at both the aquarium and underwater zoo, and want to pamper yourself, consider booking a stay at a Dubai luxury hotel such as Desert Palm PER AQUUM, and plan your tour to the aquarium and the underwater zoo from there.

Checkout the King Crocodile exhibit, for instance. It is a signature attraction at the zoo. The crocodile, which is over 5 metres in length, is kept in an isolated space. The reptile is said to weigh at least 750 kgs. Dubbed as nature’s most feared and powerful reptile, the King Croc is recorded as one of the biggest creatures in the world, and this one is likely to grow even larger in years to come. Cage snorkelling is another thrilling experience at the Dubai aquarium. If you see yourself daring to jump into a 10-million litre aquarium, then cage snorkelling is the activity for you. You will be able to swim within the confines of a safe cage. Just put on your snorkelling equipment and enjoy the up-close view you get to see of 70 different marine species. You will get to see around 300 sharks and rays at close range. If you are touring with family, remember that this activity has age reservations. Your child has to be at least eight years old to be allowed to participate in this activity. Pregnant ladies are also not allowed. Also, cage snorkelling can accommodate only four people in one go. If you want something even more thrilling, try swimming around in a cage with a group of Sand Tiger sharks.
