There are some really unique sea creatures to watch and also other land animals. But i prefer to watch these creatures live freely in its normal habitat.

It was a very cool experience, you can view a lot of beautiful sea creatures.
And there's also a small zoo of other animals.
However there were higher expectations on this place as people kept talking about it that I thought it's like we will be literally under the sea but it wasn't like that.. They were just like large aquariums.
Also the shark show, there was a huge probaganda on it, but it was just a scuba diver that has food for the fishes and he is keeping them around for us to see them. So it's not really a *show*.
However we enjoyed the views and we took very cool photos.

Poor aquarium for country having Red sea. Definetly overpriced min 3 times. Not recommended. Only if you have absolutely nothing to do. Better go diving (even dicsover scuba is better).

My wife and I walked from our hotel, jazz blue marine.
The walk took just over an hour. To then walk around the aquarium in just over 35 minutes.
We both thought most of the animals looked very bored in there very small enclosures. As for the marine area, there was very little information on the species of the fish, and again we both felt that their tanks was too small.
It has to be the worst aquarium we have ever visited on any of are holidays. And belive me, my wife loves an aquarium, so we have visited to many too list.
My recommendation would be to save your entrance fee cost, and tip the lovely staff that look after you in your hotels.

The most boring day in Egypt. The ticket is not worth even 3 $. All exhibitions took 35 minutes. Gift shop expensive. Inside hot, not good place to see the show, to small room. Not recommend.

First I love the place but I found no one wearing mask (the staff and the visitors)
Then I have to wait from 11 am to 3 pm to see the show and I ask if it will be organized they told me yes then the big problem is I found in very small place more than 200 people all without wearing masks and some of the visitors come stand in front of us really it's horrible and finally I left the place searching for the manager to tell him that it's really dangerous and he have to do something so I went the administration office I found 2 men's and I ask to meet the manager he told me to tell him the problem so I told him everything and the reply is OK that's all
And when I am leaving the place the man who sitting in the cashier found me upset 😡 so he asked me what's wrong? I told him the story and ask him to call the manager me and I asked him his name so his name is yehia
And the surprise is the man I speak with him in the office is the manager
Which he not taking care of anything
Please all should take care this place is dangerous
No hygiene regarding covid 19

The cashier is the worst he can't organize any situation and he is very rude, and waiting time in the cashier is really the worst.

Hello, please be informed that most of our animals are rescued we don't hunt them, they was given to us with injuries and all of those rescued were reproduce here. An example of our flamingos they was hardly cannot spread their wings and we tried our best to keep them alive and now they are living healthy and stronger. Our staff are 24 hours shifting to look after them. Our monkey was rescued from his abused owner his arm was broken when he arrived to us, and now he is completely recovered and had his new born baby monkey called Roy. We love our animal, their health is a top priority.
