At the Lost Chambers Aquarium in Dubai, you will discover the lost city of Atlantis, explore 21 unique marine exhibits, and see 65,000 marine animals.
The Lost Chambers Aquarium is part of the Atlantis hotel and is the largest aquarium in the Middle East and Africa.
The unique twist of this aquatic marine adventure is the way it is designed – you view the legendary lost city of Atlantis in more than 20 different aquariums.
The Lost Chambers aquarium is slightly smaller than the Dubai Aquarium Underwater Zoo in the Dubai Mall but is worth a visit.
Since the Aquaventure Waterpark is also part of the Atlantis Hotel, most tourists explore both of them on the same day.
