Largest Aquarium takes shape in Dubai
Dubai : 19-Aug-2004
Spectacular views and a line-up of special aquatic attractions are in store for visitors to the Dubai Mall Aquarium, which will be the world's largest indoor marine mammal pavilion. The sheer size and magnitude of the aquatic offering will be a fitting complement to the world's largest shopping mall by Emaar Properties, which is part of the company's prestigious Burj Dubai district, the tallest residential building in the world. Designed to world-class standards, the aquarium will allow visitors to experience the exotic wonders of aquatic life first-hand through breathtaking views and a choice of leisure and dining activities. The 50-metre-long aquarium, located strategically in the centre of the mall, will be flanked by two glass tunnels at varying levels, offering windows into the incredible diversity of marine life.
Travelling through these, visitors will be treated to an exceptional underwater experience as they see eye-to-eye with sharks, stingrays and other species of fish in their natural habitat. A host of cafes and fine dining restaurants surrounding the aquarium will offer visitors a choice to dine or relax and enjoy the fantastic views. Other attractions include a state-of-the-art discovery centre whereby both children and adults can enhance their knowledge about the aquatic world through a selection of books, audio-visual presentations and exhibits. In close vicinity will be a souvenir shop offering exciting mementoes and gifts. With its captivating views and multifarious attractions, The Aquarium is a must see for all age groups and will make one's visit to the Dubai Mall truly memorable.
