It's a wonderful place. A huge shopping center with a variety of shops, a large aquarium where, if desired, you can feed the fish, of course for a fee. There is a very beautiful waterfall inside the shopping center, and in the evening there are extremely beautiful dancing fountains. The prices certainly bite a little, but it's worth a visit. In general, if there are supermarkets in Dubai where you can buy cheap food, but you need to go to them by metro and bus, since they are located in residential areas, which of course are inferior in their cleanliness to tourist areas. But it is important that you stick a card in the bus when you enter the bus and do not forget to attach it when you get off the bus. Unless, of course, you like very intense heat, then it's better for you to fly there in winter

Like many tourists, we have planned to visit many places in Dubai. One of them was the aquarium located in the Dubai Mall.
Like everything in Dubai, it is very expensive and pretentious. But half of it doesn't work.
It seems to be electronic turnstiles, but they are broken, and one girl accepts tickets. As a result, the queue.
The aquarium begins with a red carpet. There is a crowd of people standing and looking at the fish. It's completely free and very effective. The big wall is transparent, and there is a shark swimming behind it. I'd like to see it too. So, you paid 400 tugriks and you are being led between these people and this wall... To see how the same shark swims, but from the other side. And if you are four together, then this is not 400 tugriks, but 400 Bachinskis already...
Then you walk through the corridors and look at the aquariums. Minimum interactivity, maximum boredom.
Everyone goes and asks each other where the exit is))))
Cool inside:
1. There are penguins at the very top, that's really cool. The aquarium is half filled with water and you can see not only how they stand or wander funny, but also how they dive and swim like your torpedoes.
2. The alligator family. I've seen a lot of big ones, but this daddy is just a champion.
3. Otters are cool on the principle of a dolphin-made aviary....
Bottom line: Dress up nicely and stock up on a compass))
Yandex, what kind of vocabulary do you call profanity, friend?

We liked the aquarium itself. A large, huge variety of fish, interesting design. The only thing that let us down was the guide who bought the tickets from. She promised us penguins, but it turned out on the spot that to see penguins you need to buy a ticket for a different price (which included penguins). As a result, we were not allowed to see the penguins, and in order to see them, we need to go out to the ticket office again and buy tickets for the aquarium + penguins. Tickets are not sold separately for penguins.Moreover, we were not the only ones who flew by, people on the spot asked how much to pay to be allowed to the penguins, they were also sent to the ticket office for new tickets. At that moment, he upset us. It would be great to have a separate ticket for them at the penguin hall.
