Overview

Embark on an extraordinary adventure with our Beyond The Glass experience at the National Aquarium, the largest of its kind in the Middle East. The Aquarium is home to a diverse range of marine animals, spanning various zones that represent different ecosystems, including the tropical waters of the Pacific, the freshwaters of the Amazon, the ice caps of the Arctic, and the caves of the Mediterranean. Enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes access to get up close and observe the fascinating behaviour of the 46,000 creatures residing in our Aquarium. Challenge your courage by walking across our mesmerizing glass bridge. Get the opportunity to expand your knowledge with our new Pristine Seas exhibit zone which is developed in collaboration with National Geographic. The exhibit zone highlights the importance of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a mechanism for protecting and restoring the world’s oceans. Through the exhibition’s narrative, photography, and film, visitors will learn how the Pristine Seas team supports indigenous people, local communities and governments in the creation of MPAs.
