What young girl doesn’t dream of being a mermaid? Nope, neither of us can come up with one. What if we told you that your dreams of becoming Ariel would come true thanks to Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo? Every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 4 p.m., 6 p.m., and 8 p.m., treat your children to an underwater fantasy where they may take a unique Mermaid Show featuring “real” mermaids swimming around in the Aquarium’s exquisite fish-filled tanks. Free (and magical!). Do you want to go further with it?

Additionally, there will be a unique Meet & Greet opportunity when guests may engage with the mermaids and snap photos with their favourites (perfect for Instagram photos!). Then there’s the Mermaid Transformation experience, including dreamy mermaid hairstyling, a mermaid makeup application, and a costume dress-up session. Your little ladies will also receive a keepsake snapshot and an enchanted hairpiece to commemorate their time spent as mermaids!

Why is it important?

The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is located on the ground level of the world’s largest mall, the Dubai Mall. The main tank of the 10-million-litre Dubai Aquarium, which is 51 metres long, 20 metres wide, and 11 metres high, is the most giant suspended aquarium in the world.

TripAdvisor honoured the aquarium with its “Certificate of Excellence” in 2012. The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums for contributing to environmental education and environmental research. Among its many honours, it was named the 2012 Images RetailME Awards’ “Images Most Admired Retailer of the Year—Leisure & Entertainment” winner.

Dubai Aquarium in a nutshell

Admire the astounding assemblage of more than 140 species, encompassing 300 sharks, rays, and the world’s most extensive collection of Sand Tiger sharks. At the Underwater Zoo, you may stroll through the Rainforest, Rocky Shore, and Living Ocean habitats and face a colony of Humbolt penguins, giant catfish, playful otters, and dangerous piranhas. Discover the unique ‘lunar-cyclic’ lighting system that alters the tank’s atmosphere according to the time of day.

Experience of a Mermaid

What more could you want for a day full of mermaids, from makeovers to ethereal performances underwater? With live mermaid performances at Yas Waterworld, The Dubai Aquarium, and Underwater Zoo, Mermaids of Arabia is the region’s leading provider of aquatic shows.

Let your Little Princess dive into Fantasy

Make sure your kids are excited by scheduling a Mermaid Makeover. In this magical transformation area next to the aquarium, with shell-style makeup chairs, mirrors, and a direct view of the marine life, girls will be styled as mermaids and boys as pirates (or vice versa, if they prefer). A shell throne and pirate ship with polystyrene cannon rounds, pearls, and sea horses provide endless photo opportunities.

Why is it a big deal?

Watching “The Mermaid Show” at the mall’s Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo has drawn large groups of people drawn by the underwater dream. The concert included a performance in the 10-million-litre Dubai Aquarium tank at the mall, the largest suspended aquarium in the world, featuring some of the world’s most talented performers, including Olympic synchronised swimmers.

The Mermaid Show tells an underwater fantasy tale with skillfully performed mermaids and mermen swimming to a flawlessly choreographed dance. Stephan Miermont, a former head coach of the USA synchronised swim team at the Olympics, is the director and choreographer of the production.

The event, three times a day at five, seven, and nine o’clock in the evening, features real mermaids swimming alongside aquatic animals in a unique marine habitat home to thousands of aquatic animals, including more than 400 sharks and rays.
