Aquarium Tank

The 10-million litre Dubai Aquarium tank, located on the Ground Level of The Dubai Mall, is the largest suspended aquarium in the world.
It houses over 33,000 aquatic animals, comprising over 140 species. Over 400 Sharks and Rays live in this tank, including the largest collection of Sand Tiger Sharks in the world.
There are numerous ways for visitors to experience the main Aquarium tank, which measures 51 metres in length, 20 metres in depth and 11 metres in height.
The main Guinness World Record-winning acrylic panel in front of the tank provides free viewing to the public from all 3 levels of the mall
The 48 metre walk-through Tunnel provides 270 degree views from 11 metres below the surface of the tank
Visitors can go on a Glass-bottom boat ride, providing unique views of the tank from beneath their feet
Those who want to experience a dip in the tank can opt for a Cage Snorkeling Experience
And for the adventurous ones, a Shark Dive is a once in a lifetime opportunity, bringing you within inches of a large variety of sharks and rays

Located on Level Two above the Aquarium tank, Underwater Zoo leads you through three ecological Zones; Rainforest, Rocky Shore and Living Ocean.

Watch out for these aquatic creatures at Underwater Zoo: Otters, Piranha, Humbolt Penguins, Caiman Crocodiles, Lionfish, Giant Spider Crabs, Leafy Seadragons, Seahorses, Garden Eels, Archerfish, Arapaima, Water Rats, Paddlefish, Cichlids, Nautilus and many more amazing aquatic animals in 40 individual aquatic displays

The Mall's Dubai Aquarium and Discovery Centre, developed and operated by Oceanis Australia Group, officially earned the Guinness World Record for the world's "Largest Acrylic Panel" (32.88 m wide × 8.3 m high × 750 mm thick and weighing 245,614 kg). The acrylic viewing panel is larger than Japan's Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium (22.5 m wide × 8.2 m high and 600 mm thick). Its 750 mm thick acrylic viewing panel can withstand pressure of 10 million litres of water used in the aquarium, but its transparency gives visitors clear views of over 33,000 marine animals on display.

The Mall adopted an International Standard of Ethics and Animal Welfare Policy in its development and operation.[
