What people are saying about Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

Overall rating

4.4 / 5

based on 22,094 reviews

It’s a very good tour to get a taste of Dubai. Ameera was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, great photographer and always smiling. We didn’t have to queue anywhere including Burj Khalifa and that wad a bonus. The only downside is that on the tour prescription is mentioned that we will visit Jumeirah Mosque but we didn’t.

We were at the Burj Khalifa at 11:30 a.m., the waiting times for the elevators were sometimes a bit longer, but overall okay. A great experience. The aquarium and the underwater zoo exceeded all expectations, really unique. We were also pleasantly surprised by the variety of species.

It was AMAZING ... what a great Tour Guide and driver we had, and the organization was incredible ... I would recommend it to any single/couple/family traveller. They were amazing on time, their language skills are great and it was such a nice taste of DUBAI

The only way to see the city, the only complaint is that the tours end too early

Great experience for all of the family, Best to buy tickets together
