Awestruck!

The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi was better than I had anticipated. The displays are thoughtfully laid out to make for simple navigation. I was in awe seeing the intelligence and agility of dolphins. It was wonderful to stingrays, sea turtles, Eagle Rays, hammerhead sharks, and hundreds of marine animals at leisure.

A Marine Wonderland

Visiting the National Aquarium Abu Dhabi felt like stepping into a marine wonderland. I was speechless to see the size of the aquarium and the display of marine creatures. Every single themed zone of the aquarium was enchanting. The Bu Tinah Dhow glass bottom boat tour was excellent through which I enjoyed a closer look at the underwater environment.
