While you can see parts of the water tank from the outside, it's worth a visit, as it allows you to get closer to the tank, walk through a tunnel and see an entire zoo on the 2nd floor. Don't miss the shark feeding at the big tank - it's amazing.

In Dubai, you don't have to tip, as a service charge is built into the prices (especially with restaurants). It won't be considered rude if you don't leave the staff any dirhams. With that said, remember that the service charge goes to the business—not directly to the staff that served you.
