Fascinating Under water Experience at Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo!!!

Malls of Dubai are not known just for their luxury brand outlets but also for the attractions they offer. Close to Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall offers with attractions like Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, Dubai Ice Rink, Kidzania and more. More on other attractions in upcoming posts, as this post is for Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo.

Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, is one of the largest aquariums in the world. With the capacity to hold 10 million liters of water, it has thousands of aquatic animals including sharks and rays. Its 270-degree acrylic walk-through tunnel is amazing, to experience the fascinating underwater life. A special 'lunar-cyclic' lighting system changes the ambiance of the tank depending on the time of day.

Skywatch - Sabarmati River Front!!!

"Cleanliness starts at home", that is what we felt when we visited the Riverfront Park on the Bank of Sabarmati river in Ahmedabad. The Riverfront Park is so neatly maintained and stands to our PM Modhiji's Swach Bharat campaign.

There is play area for kids and don't expect any good food at the shops on the river front. Best time to visit is evening, when you can spend time in the park and enjoy the park in light as well.
