Great family activity

The National aquarium is our favourite place in Abu Dhabi. We have been annual ticket holders since its opening. The staff are friendly, helpful and very informative. We had a great experience with Mohammed Kahaileh during the behind the scene tour. Very comprehensive and informative and he engaged with us as a family.

We found Nemo ! 😉

Very nice experience. The best part of the tour is the visit in the facilities upstairs with the turtles and the animals feeding. A very pleasant and interesting visit.
