Fantastic world under the water
A fantastic aquarium and big undertaking of preserving sea life from the region and educate about the marine world. It is fantastic what UAE and Abu Dhabi is doing when they want to achieve something. Very nice to spend a few hours there

SPECTACULAR EXPERIENCE
It was fun exploring these Themed Zones inside Aquarium Journey. It was well organized, neat and maintained well. Kudos to the staff that are super friendly. Nice display in the gift shop where staff helps me choose selected items for souvenirs. It was fun during the tour and I highly recommend it to all my friends.
