Large aquarium

Nice aquarium what you can see on the outside, when you enter of course more to see. But outside you can already see very large fish and sharks swimming. Nice also in the middle of a shopping mall

Poor Communication and Unclear Policies – Disappointed with Rayna Tours

I booked a Burj Khalifa visit through Rayna Tours, and my experience was very disappointing. My booking was for 2:00 pm. Around 12:00 noon (two hours before the slot), I emailed Rayna Tours requesting a change in timing. They replied that the change could be made with an amendment fee of AED 100 per person. I immediately confirmed at 12:35 pm that I was willing to pay the fee. Unfortunately, their next response came only at 2:18 pm – after my ticket had already lapsed – saying the supplier informed them the ticket had “expired” and could not be amended. When I contacted them, they claimed amendments required 24 hours’ prior notice. However, this condition was never mentioned on my ticket, nor in their earlier email when they offered me the amendment option with fees. This lack of transparency and delayed communication caused me to lose my booking completely. If the 24-hour rule was truly a policy, it should have been clearly mentioned upfront, not after the fact. Overall, this felt unprofessional and misleading. I would not recommend relying on Rayna Tours for time-sensitive bookings.

Great experience, perfect pictures and videos, interesting and funny animals and amazing memories.

Great experience and very interesting animals. It is great to visit this place. Funny animals and we together make amazing memories, pictures and videos. I visited a lot of “animal planets” but this was the besz because some animals I have never seen before.

Good

This aquarium is good, tickets are expensive though. It was a good experience. For Sharks and Penguin encounter, there are separate tickets. You can book in advance, otherwise you will have to wait in long queue. There is a good variety of fish. You can also take a glimpse of aquarium from outside.
