Hi everyone, hope your day was well spent like mine? Firstly, I want to appreciate all those who send positive feedbacks about the places I review, especially those who visit the places after reading my reviews; it means a lot. So, let’s get right into today’s review…
There are so many fun places in Sharjah for tourists and ex-pats to visit. Most people believe all the fun is in Dubai, but when you are willing to explore other Emirates, you’ll be amazed at what you will find.
Sharjah Aquarium is located in Al Khan; this mini beautiful world was created in 2008; it is one of the largest educational centres in the UAE. The aquarium is run by the Sharjah Museums Authority. This attraction in Sharjah comprises 20 different aquariums on two floors containing a variety of sea creatures.
I visited on a weekday, so I assume that is the reason it wasn’t crowded. This will be my first time visiting an aquarium, if I remember correctly. I was extremely fascinated by the little and large creatures there. I’m glad I had a tour guide at some point; it made the experience more interesting. I’d definitely encourage tourists and residents to visit this place in Sharjah.
