a few weeks back i was in dubai for business. the first free moment i had i jumped in a taxi and headed out to see the huge aquarium everyone is talking about in the newly opened dubai mall...a bonus that it just so happens to be in one of the largest malls in the world ;)
as i walked around the corner, the sight was breathtaking. to give you an idea of its size, the acrylic panel earned the guinness world record as the 'largest acrylic panel' measuring 32.88m long x 8.3m high x 750mm thick and weighing 245,614 kg. the 750mm thick viewing panel can withstand pressure of 10 million litres of water used in the aquarium. its transparency allows you to view over 33,000 marine animals on display. take a look...
