Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo

in photography •  7 years ago 

The day after desert safari we visited The Dubai Aquarium.

It's an amazing experience but unfortunately, you'll not gonna see much.

Those fishes and turtles are too fast for me and my camera. Not to mention penguins. They swimming like arrows.

And when we came to the water tunnel with rays and sharks and other real beauties gliding over your head, the f....... battery on my camera died. Disaster, I tell you.

On a way back I took this photo. You can zoom in and call them if you lovely baby have a birthday.

Even if you couldn't take many photos the experience is so worth it. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Wow this is something I have yet to explore. Looks like it's worth a visit.

It is. For sure.

Sometimes I feel like I want to trade my babies.

I'm bet you not the only one, he, he.

Oh god!! Lovely baby trading! Seriously?? Hahaha. God, some of these English names in non-native English speaking countries is just so freaking funny. :) Makes me laugh.

Few months back I bought a book with funny Dubai shop names. I was cry laughing when I went through it. Will post few scans from it, I am sure you will love it.

Oh man!! Please do... I can imagine it was hilarious. :)

Sorry for delay, It was busy this week. Anyway, here it is: https://steemit.com/photography/@noperope/funny-dubai-shop-names, enjoy

Do it, man! I'm waiting.

Google translate maybe?

Yeah, that would make sense. Good point. :)

Haha actually i exptected that i would make a comment on the fish but then i saw this! Haha hilarious! Being in China for 15 years i have also seen some weird english texts. I once saw an old lady with a t shirt which in bold letters said : " I Am A Candy Stripper". I hope to god no one have her any candys, that would have been a scary sight!

Oh no.. :) hahha... "I am a Candy Stripper." Adorable.. I wonder if she knew what that meant. :)

I don't know, but I definitely don't want to risk finding out! Maybe she is trying to revive her career but as no one agree to pay money she went for the next best thing - Candy!

Hhahaa :) Maybe.

The most important thing is that you enjoyed it!Don't worry about camera!It actually encourages us to go and check it out for ourselves 😁

True.

Bateray on my died, really a disaster he he, but you've managed to take some good pictures for us, beautiful aquarium .. good job man, thanks

Wow talk about a lot of fish!! I wonder which one would taste the best!

They looked quite exotic. I'm not sure if they taste good.

nice picture sir

Beautiful picture

Look. Try to write at least two sentences when you commenting. It's not so hard and people will upvote you. I checked your comments. Every comment has two words. People don't like that. Try harder. You can do it.

ya i know that but my written skill not so good

That's exactly why. To learn. I started the same way one year ago. Try with Grammarly.

ok thank you

I always have my phone charged at 100%. Happens all the time to me too when I go to places and trying to take pictures. Soon its 50% battery life then out of nowhere, it's dead on me. 😁

So true.

Wow nice to see the beautiful under water zoo and aquarium... its just amazing... thanks for sharing...

wow....you have captured all the photo really well..outstanding photography. you have a great talent of photography..so keep it up and try to in touch the people with natural things...GOOD POST FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!UPVOTED and FOLLOWED!

You've got me singing lyrics from the little mermaid movie now...... under the sea, under the sea ..... lol and i guess they don't trade ugly babies.

Maybe two ugly for one lovely. Maybe three. You can check yourself. The phone number is right there.

This is awe-inspiring.

The old battery disaster. Damn it to hades!

It'll never happen to me. Ha, ha.

Quality Photo is Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo. Good Location.
Great post @oldtimer.

That is a pretty awesome aquarium. Never see fish flying by in them like that, lol.

Some of those fish were big like cats and even bigger. And tanks are really big. So many weird creatures I never saw before even on TV.

Wow very interesting. Thanks for sharing

I'm two hours away from Dubai (in Qatar). I'm looking forward to visiting the aquarium as well as Dubai for the first time. Well, if the blockade ever comes to an end lol. Love your pics.

I hope so. And make sure your battery is full before you go.

Be careful with your account keys, my friend.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm just getting started and was unaware. Newbie mistake lol. All should be good now.

would be an awesome place for vacation

It was well worth it. I would skip two years of vacation and save money to go back.

i live in dubai , next time you drop by give me a buzz @ okdubai. cheers

Dubai is one of my fave places. Lucky you for getting to spend some time there. I am never disappointed with my visits. You captured some really neat pictures before your battery died. Next time I'm at the aquarium, I really want to get in the aquarium and swim with the sharks. #BucketListing

Me too.

Aquariums can be a nightmare to get shots in you got more shots than I would have probably
just a bit of Kiwi pride here the first aquarium with a walk through tank was in NZ, Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life Aquarium in Auckland

Good to know. Thanks.

wow so beautiful small creatures

Nicely done ! All photographs are awesome,You are enjoying well in Dubai,Have a great journey see you soon.

Pink buses... Red Ferraris...

Hi , hope you enjoyd what was leaved over camera :) waiting more photos in visit of garden, cheers

wow, res noro ! :)

Need to go there one day ! :D

I sometimes forget to take pictures because I enjoy too much and later say my phone died, to excuse the lack of them 😂
Not always, but it has happened before...
awesome trip and nice pics @oldtimer !
Uzivaj 😎

I see cute little clown fish :)

Even with the problems with your battery, this turned out to be a very entertaining post. And the memories are there without the camera too :-)

You right. Memories are even more important. With photos, I would like just enable fellow steemians to see the new places.

How dare you not to take with a couple of extra batteries when going to aquarium? :-)

dubai really awesome city .here too much advanture places .i also like that aquariums which is in dubai mall .after seeing this post you remind me all thing

It must be refreshing to visit an aquarium in the desert. If those fish could understand where they really were I bet they would freak out. Baskin Robbins and lovely babies Dubai has it all! I see another miracle in the desert is coming... interesting...

You right. Did you notice the fancy bumper on that truck?

No! Nice iron scroll work and dangling chains... is it the harem bus?

Harem and lovely babies.

I knew it!

Ice cream? I totally love Ice-cream especially chocolate.

That looks like a great aquarium

believeunieve bpic.I likso munce it sre

Dubai is amazing and that aquarium is just amazing and like the teaser is of miracle garden this would be more interesting

It's an amazing experience but unfortunately, you'll not gonna see much.

I can understand though, honestly being a scuba diver myself, I am not really into big aquariums. But maybe, it can be good for kids to see marine life closer and easily. But if I have kids, I will probably just go back to the Galapagos and have them dive with me, and see the sharks in their natural habitat. Because the kids will probably be just as crazy as me.

I haven't traveled to Dubai though, the only middle-eastern country I have traveled to is Qatar. That was when my emirates flight was delayed and I was treated to 5-star royalty for free. But it was so hot outside, I don't think I can withstand living in the dessert climate. But, to each his own! We have our own ideal lives.

Great post overall.

I was there in winter time. Here in Canada was -25 Celsius at the time and in Dubai was 20-25 plus. Big difference.

I always say to myself as long as it is not -40 siberian temp, or 50 Dubai Summer. I'm good.

@oldtimer - Sire, love your Dubai travel. Nice photography of the aquarium Sire.
