The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi

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.

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.
