5.00Beautifully maintained. The aquarium is just a small tunnel. You will move to the next location that is a zoo. There you will get the feeling of moving through a jungle. They have tried making it green and rocky. You will find a retail shop and a cafe from where you can get refreshments and small gifts for your homies if you are especially on a Dubai tour. personally want to thank the people doing mermaid shows in the aquarium, you guys are really entertaining, thank you so much for your efforts. Thank you Royal Smart Tourism! Cheers!
