The experience
A 48-metre glass tunnel through one of the world’s largest indoor aquarium tanks, inside The Dubai Mall.
Dubai Aquarium sits behind one of the largest single glass panels in the world, visible for free from The Dubai Mall’s ground floor — this ticket goes further, into the 48-metre walk-through tunnel that runs beneath the same tank, with sharks, rays and reef fish from over 140 species passing overhead.
Beyond the tunnel, the Underwater Zoo adds a rainforest floor, a penguin cove and a giant otter habitat across three levels, positioned as a broader look at aquatic and amphibious life rather than only the main tank.
It suits a shorter stop within a Dubai Mall visit as much as a dedicated outing — the tunnel and zoo together run under two hours for most guests, leaving time for the mall itself or the Burj Khalifa fountain show outside.
