Lost World Aquarium at Aquaventure World

This guide to the Lost World Aquarium at Aquaventure World in Dubai plays out the resort's origin myth — that construction on the Palm uncovered the ruins of Atlantis — through twenty themed chambers of mock ruins and diving gear staged as ancient artifacts. It moves from the excavation-style theming into the real animals living among it, including sharks and rays circling the eleven-million-litre Ambassador Lagoon and the armored arapaima of the Amazon. Listen for what else turns up further along the ruins.
