The Lost Chambers Aquarium - Atlantis, The Palm

01:24 Blogs by FA 76 Comments


So one fine weekend when my husband and I were in Dubai, we decided to experience Atlantis, the Palm. Yes! Such a fun weekend activity it was, and the first thing we did there after having lunch at one of the French restaurants in the hotel called La Brasserie, was to see The Lost Chambers Aquarium. 


Atlantis, the Palm is a hotel resort built on an island with distinctive Arabian elements. It has more than 1500 rooms and has two wings, one called the East and other the West Tower, that are connected by the Royal Bridge Suite. Sounds huge! Isn't it? It also has a water park called Aquaventure and the very popular Nasimi Beach. Now this beach is a hot spot for concerts and they do the best fireworks on the New Year's eve. I will be sharing my experience with lots of more pictures in the next part of my stay at the Atlantis, the Palm, but this one is dedicated to The Lost Chambers Aquarium, which is also inside the hotel. 


The Lost Chambers Aquarium is the home to 65,000 marine animals, has 20 aquatic exhibits in touch tanks and The Ambassador Lagoon, seeing which, was a remarkable experience. 

Since we had already paid for staying at the hotel, our entry inside the aquarium was complimentary. The general entry ticket for adults who are day visitors costs AED 100/19.35 British Pounds but they offer special rates for UAE residents if they show the proof of residence. If you wish to go there just to see the aquarium, you can see the ticket prices here. 

I have often seen people coming there and taking their photos outside the aquarium. You can also do that, and for that you don't need to buy the ticket, as its totally free, but the ticket is for sale if you wish to go inside the aquarium. 

Besides viewing the fish tanks, the aquarium also has many other things to offer but at an added cost. You can opt for ray feeding, snorkelling, shark safari,  dive explorer, dive discovery and shark night and predator dive too. 

We wanted to keep it simple and short as there were many other things to do as well so decided not to go for any further activities, and also because they were charged. So, just viewed all the fish tanks in detail and did lots of photography. Sadly, I don't even remember those details now, there was so much to learn about the fish there! 

Enjoy some of the photos of the fish tanks below.

      You must stay at Atlantis at least for one day. It is costly though.

    Great photos and fabulous colours from these amazing fish species. We have an aquarium in the Irish town called Bray where I live on the east coast of Ireland but it is a much more modest version of this one.

      I have always loved aquariums but the cleaning part was a major setback. Although I did have a small fish pot at home before I got married.

    I love visiting humongous aquariums and this one looks amazing. We've stayed at Atlantis in the Bahamas and visited S.E.A. Aquarium, Resort World at Sentosa in Singapore. I have to say my favourite one is Atlantis Bahamas. I've always wanted to visit Dubai, I will have to definitely add this to my list now that I know they have a huge aquarium.

    I'm not a fan of the Atlantis - I used to live in Dubai and think it's an eyesore lol. But I love the aquarium at Dubai Mall! It sucks that you have to pay for an entrance ticket and then more for the activities - that's a bit cheeky! lol
