Frommer's Staff

This seaside aquarium caters to families and has over 250 species of marine life typical of the Gulf. It can't compete with neighboring Dubai aquariums, but it's cheaper and less crowded. On the top of the food chain, you'll see reef sharks, moray eels, and rays. Smaller wonders include seahorses and clownfish. Interactive educational programs for kids are offered. There's a restaurant on the boardwalk just in front.
