The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi, Public aquarium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi is a large marine facility with ten zones displaying different water environments from around the world. Visitors see a wide variety of fish, corals, and other sea creatures in their natural settings.
The facility was created to teach people about marine life and protection programs for endangered animals. A rescue program helps injured and sick sea creatures in the region.
The facility presents marine habitats similar to those found in the Gulf region, helping visitors understand the local wildlife around them. The displays connect entertainment with knowledge about regional waters.
The aquarium sits in the Al Qana district on Abu Dhabi's Al Maqta waterfront, reachable by car or taxi. The route through the ten zones runs one way, so allow a couple of hours and wear comfortable shoes. Wheelchair access is provided throughout, and visitors can join guided sessions to see animals up close.
The facility features one of the longest underwater tunnels in the Middle East, where you walk while sea creatures swim above and beside you. This tunnel creates the feeling of walking deep underwater.
