Dubai Aquarium at Dubai Mall

It is 4 times as many as the new London Westfield centre. Twice delayed, Dubai Mall opened on November 4, 2008, with about 600 retailers, marking the world’s largest-ever mall opening in retail history. However it is not the largest in gross leaseable space, and is surpassed in that category by several malls including the South China Mall, Golden Resources Mall, SM City North Edsa, and SM Mall of Asia.

Sprawling over 12 million sq ft (equivalent in size to more than 50 soccer pitches), the Dubai Mall has a total internal floor area of 5.9 million square feet and leaseable space of 3.77 million square feet, about same as West Edmonton Mall.

The facility, built by Oceanis Australia Group, has a capacity to hold 10 million liters of water and will be completely illuminated. The aquarium is built in the center of the mall and is flanked by two acrylic tunnels that offer views of the diverse marine life within it.

Special acrylic has also been used to build the world’s largest indoor marine mammal pavilion at the mall. Though glass is traditionally used for aquaria, acrylic has proven to be stronger and lighter, with acrylic-soluble cement used to fuse the material together, allowing for the formation of unusual shapes.

“Glass is not used in the building of modern aquariums. An acrylic plastic is bonded together to create the windows in the mall’s aquarium and the Discovery Center. Acrylic is extremely strong and can be manipulated into a variety of shapes such as the unique curved acrylic tunnel,” said Yousif Al Ali, general manager, The Dubai Mall. “The 270-degree acrylic walk through tunnel makes for incredible close-encounter experiences with some of the most fascinating underwater animals. The special ‘lunar-cyclic’ lighting system will change the ambiance of the tank depending on the time of day.”
