Shoppers Watch the Sharks at the Dubai Mall

Size
The Dubai Aquarium within the Dubai Mall is one of the largest tanks but it possesses the world’s largest aquarium viewing panel.

Beauty
More than the size of the 50m long aquarium is the view that spectators can get. The two glass tunnels at varying levels, offer windows to see a range of marine life as well as opportunities to come face to face with sharks, stingrays and other species of fish.

There is something wonderful, relaxing and soothing about watching fish (unless they’re eating each other or you are visiting at 4.00pm when the sharks are feeding).

Watch the Fish
Take a look at this video that was filmed at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquararium in Japan which is almost the same size as the Dubai aquarium.
