You step off El Corniche into a cool, dim gallery where colored lights animate the Red Sea’s inhabitants and a slow current seems to pull the crowd toward the tunnel. Fish press against the glass like passengers at a window; a leopard shark glides as if taking a measured turn through its domain. The rope bridge above the smaller enclosures rocks gently underfoot, offering a different angle on the tanks below.

Time it for the shark feedings

Accessible routes available
The aquarium is wheelchair and stroller accessible—ask staff for the most level routes and elevator access where needed.
Bring a refillable bottle and light snack
Canteens sell drinks and snacks but bringing water reduces lines and keeps you comfortable during a 1–2 hour visit.
