Sharjah Aquarium is a wonderful place to spend a few hours. Its well planned and the various types of aquatic life are a treat to watch.I was amazed by the different shades of blue that could be seen in one of the tanks. Around 11 am we were fortunate to see the fish being fed. Theres a nice little cafe... More

An excellent aquarium in Sharjah next to Dubai. Wonderful value for 20 dirhams and really good display and easy photo access to some great tanks. The coral reef section is so colourful and really makes you appreciate why we need to conserve coral reefs. Great walk through passage, and then a walkway looking down into the same tank. Highly recommended.

The Shajah Aquarium is one of the best place I have visited in Sharjah. Its an old fishing village partly converted in to ans aquarium. Its a must visit place for any one who visits UAE. I enjoyed with my family and children are thrilled to see this.

If you are in sharjah its a nice place to visit as it is not at all crowded like in dubai and you can have amble time watching the sea creatures from the top,from the tunnel etc.The sea side view of sharjah from the balcony near the cafeteria at the exit is very nice.

Those of you visiting Dubai should not forget to do a drive to Sharjah.It is about an hour's drive from Dubai.The Buildings / Skyscrapers are all well designed architecturally and the road network is superb.The kerbs are all well laid with beautiful flower beds and the sight is quite eye catching. Interesting places are the Aquarium, Gold Shops and the... More

Unlike the crowd, glitz, glamour and massiveness of the Aquariums in Dubai Mall or Atlantis, Sharjah Aquarium is quiet and maintained well. You can take your own time and do not feel rushed through, nor do you have to peep between crowds for a view of the marine life. Worth a visit for sure.

Couple of days ago we visited Sharjah Aquarium. It was a good experience for adults and children alike. The aquarium is not very big and maximum can take up to 2 hours. The location of aquarium is easy to find. The fish variety is nice. The fishes (including sharks) are from arabian peninsula which I think makes it more special.... More

The sharjah aquarium is a nice place to visit. It doesn't take more than an hour or two tops to visit everything because it is not very big in my opinion but the fish variety is nice. Please like if you think this review helps.
