This place makes a really fun day out especially if you have young kids like me who love anything fish related! I personally think this aquarium is underrated compared to the ones found in Dubai.
First of all Sharjah Aquarium is surprisingly the first and largest government educational center in the UAE. It’s also huge and consists of two floors containing 21 aquariums and filled with 1.8 million liters of water! Now that’s alot of 🐠 🐟
It wasn’t busy at all when we arrived despite us visiting during the Eid holiday period when places like this would be heaving in Dubai.
The kids enjoyed walking around and getting up close, and personal with all the fascinating sea species: reef sharks, sea horses, eels, sea rays, clownfish and more.
A big bonus was that with your aquarium tickets you also get free entry to the Sharjah Maritime Museum next door. Here you can view Sharjah’s old boats or dhows, and learn more about it’s rich marine heritage and it’s historic coasts. I loved looking at the genuine Arabian pearls on display, stunning indeed.
