Overview

Khor Al Maqta, home to iconic landmarks like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, has long been a magnet for luxurious developments. Among the most ambitious projects in the area is the AED 850 million Al Qana Complex, a testament to Abu Dhabi’s Vision 2030 to transform the capital into a global tourism destination. Set along a scenic 2.4-kilometer stretch of the Al Maqta Canal, this mega development is a collaboration between Abu Dhabi Municipality and Al Barakah International Investments.

Step Into the Star Attraction – The National Aquarium

Covering over 150,000 square meters, Al Qana boasts a range of world-class attractions, with the National Aquarium Abu Dhabi as its crown jewel. Spanning 9,000 square meters, it holds the title of the largest aquarium in the Middle East. Visitors can marvel at an extraordinary variety of marine life from around the globe, including one of the region’s most extensive collections of sharks and rays—such as eagle rays, hammerheads, and zebra sharks—as well as rare creatures like the Black Sea Devil and the Super Snake.

Explore 10 Unique Themed Zones

The aquarium features 10 distinctive zones that house over 300 marine species, showcasing hundreds of thousands of aquatic creatures. Dive into the UAE’s rich marine heritage with exhibits of native species and insights into traditional pearl diving. Journey through captivating environments such as the Atlantic Cave, Red Sea Wreck, and Submarine World. Discover the natural beauty of Bu Tinah Island, and continue your exploration through the Ring of Fire, the Ocean, and the lush Flooded Forest.

Immerse Yourself in Unforgettable Experiences

Beyond its vast marine life, the aquarium offers a range of immersive experiences. A general admission ticket grants access to all ten zones, while the Beyond the Glass pass includes a behind-the-scenes tour and a walk across a stunning glass bridge. For a truly unique perspective, opt for the Bu Tinah Dhow ticket, which features all general inclusions plus a scenic glass-bottom boat ride.
