Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

This guide to Dubai Aquarium opens on a February morning in 2010, when shoppers overhead noticed water sheeting down the world's largest acrylic viewing panel and six divers were sent in to manage the tank from inside. It traces how engineers built a mall around that pane afterward, and what still swims behind it today, including sand tiger sharks, rays and giant groupers. Walk the forty-eight-metre glass tunnel slowly; the light shifts as you move beneath the wall of water.
