From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo
Walk the glass tunnel under the sharks — right inside Dubai Mall.
Sitting on the ground floor of Dubai Mall, the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is one of the easiest crowd-pleasers to add to a Dubai day — and one Indian families love because it works for kids, grandparents and honeymooners alike. From the mall atrium you can already see the giant viewing panel for free, but the real magic is the 48-metre walk-through tunnel where sand tiger sharks, stingrays and thousands of fish glide overhead. Upstairs, the Underwater Zoo houses penguins, otters, crocodiles and reptiles. It pairs naturally with a Burj Khalifa visit and the Dubai Fountain, since everything sits in the same complex. Share your dates and we will build it into a smooth, sensibly-priced Dubai itinerary.
What you actually see inside
The headline experience is the Tunnel Aquarium — a curved acrylic walkway where reef sharks, giant groupers and rays pass just above your head. Upstairs, the Underwater Zoo is split into rainforest, rocky-shore and living-ocean zones, home to penguins, otters, water rats and the famous 5-metre croc, King Croc. Kids gravitate to the touch-tank and feeding sessions. Because the whole attraction sits inside Dubai Mall, it's fully air-conditioned — a real relief in summer. We build it into wider Dubai family tour packages so children stay engaged without a long, tiring day out.
Ticket options, made simple
Entry comes in tiers: a base ticket covers the tunnel and Underwater Zoo, while combo passes add the glass-bottom boat ride, shark feeding, penguin encounter or a behind-the-scenes tour. For most first-time visitors from India, the standard experience ticket is plenty. You can also just view the free 32-metre panel from the mall floor if time is tight. Prices shift with season and combos, so rather than quote a figure, we'll share your dates for a quote and bundle the aquarium into a full Dubai tour package — often cheaper than buying attractions piecemeal at the gate.
Slotting it into a Dubai city day
The aquarium sits in the same complex as Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Fountain and endless shopping, so a classic day runs: morning at the Burj At the Top deck, aquarium and zoo before lunch, then the fountain show after sunset. Keep the evening free for a desert safari another day, and save Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah for later in the trip. Indian and Jain-veg meals are easy across the mall's food court. Our team maps the flow so you're not backtracking — see how a full trip is costed on our Dubai package cost page.

Real stories from real journeys
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
