I booked tickets to the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo last week. It was unforgettable tour with mala.ae. Thanks for the guide and best tour planning. It was outstanding and complete fun. We get to the aquarium and zoo and have an up-close look at some of the world’s most fascinating sea creatures, including sharks, rays, and more. I loved it.
