The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi

The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi is the largest aquarium in the Middle East, located in the Al Qana district of Abu Dhabi. Spanning 9,000 square metres, it is home to more than 46,000 marine animals across 300 or more species, and a visit can easily fill a few hours.

Inside, themed zones take you through marine ecosystems from around the world, from UAE's Natural Treasures and the Red Sea Wreck to the Atlantic Cave, Frozen Ocean and Bu Tinah Island. Along the way, you come face to face with more than 200 sharks and rays, alongside jellyfish, sea dragons, zebra sharks, hammerhead sharks and other tropical fish, as well as corals, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. Depending on your ticket choice, you can add interactive experiences such as Beyond the Glass, which takes you across a glass bridge over the tanks, the Bu Tinah Dhow experience, and fish feeding sessions.
