It is the first cylindrical aquarium of this magnitude inside a mall within the Middle East. Alongside the unveiling, a documentary about the aquarium project and how it became a reality was screened.
The facility will be offering educational programmes and tours soon to raise community awareness about marine life and the delicate marine ecosystem.
