Dubai has myriad things to do and unsurprisingly is the hub for tourists. Every other day we see a new development garnering the attention of swamps of people. If there’s one thing that you shouldn’t be missing out on at any cost, I’d say it is the Dubai Dolphinarium. This visit is a wholesome family experience. Spread over 5000 sq. meters, the dolphinarium is home to 6 bottlenose dolphins and a healthy population of fur seals. The air conditioned facility allows a comfortable environment to be in, even if you visit during the day with the glaring sun up in the sky. Here’s what you can expect:
