“We had an absolutely amazing experience at the Aquarium! Everything was beautifully organized, the animals were well cared for, and the entire atmosphere felt magical and immersive. The animal encounter was truly special and unforgettable – such a unique opportunity to connect so closely with them. One small note: the photos taken during the animal encounter are quite expensive, and phones are not permitted during that part of the experience. It would have been nice to have more flexibility there .overall, though, it was a wonderful experience and definitely worth visiting.”

“The guide BinYamin was very good, very knowledgeable and has a good personality. He did everything in his power to make it enjoyable. The only thing that wasn’t worth seeing is Burj Kalifa. In top of the actual ticket price we paid with our reservation we paid another $225 for skip the line because there was more than 3 hours wait time and when we got to the top floor which was 148 there was nothing to see because the windows were very dirty and outside it was cloudy. Besides, there is nothing special to see during the day. I think it’ll be spectacular after sunset when lights are on.…”
