Whether you want to learn about the aquarium's turtle rehabilitation efforts or the UAE's history as a pearl-diving community, the aquarium is your go-to destination.
-
Explore the sunken wrecks of the Red Sea, where corals and tropical fish have made their homes, and see lobsters and sea sponges in the Atlantic Caves.
