Readers of this article, hold your breath, because today we’re not introducing a supermarket or a department store, but the world’s largest shopping mall – Dubai Mall. With a cost of $2 billion and covering 12 million square feet, just how big is that? It’s equivalent to 100 football fields combined. If it were just large in area and had many shops, why would our fairy tale editors need to step in? Inside this mall, there’s the world’s largest single-pane acrylic transparent panel, behind which lies the breathtaking Dubai Aquarium!

Up to 33,000 sea creatures of over 100 species swim freely in the aquarium. Wait, are we in an aquarium right now?

Is it really an aquarium? That’s hard to say, because this aquarium isn’t your ordinary one – it’s built inside a shopping mall in the emerging Arab nation of Dubai.

In addition to the unobstructed view through the massive acrylic panel, visitors can also pay to walk through the underwater tunnel, where sharks swim all around them!

Measuring 32.88 meters wide, 8.3 meters high, and 75 centimeters thick, the world’s largest and heaviest single-piece acrylic panel offers viewers the most immersive visual experience. Can you guess how much this acrylic panel weighs?

Not long ago, the Dubai Aquarium broke the previous Guinness World Record held by Okinawa’s Churaumi Aquarium.

This single acrylic panel actually weighs 250,000 kilograms!


Due to Dubai’s openness and internationalization, its economic and commercial activities have developed rapidly, with skyscrapers being built one after another. The iconic Burj Al Arab is considered a must-visit destination in many people’s lives. As Dubai’s luxurious image becomes increasingly prominent, many social observers believe that such extravagant spending may lead Dubai toward a bubble... because of the financial crisis a few years ago, many multinational companies have withdrawn their investments, with some even losing hundreds of millions of dollars. But regardless of whether Dubai is heading toward a bubble or not, today we’ll still take you to see something amazing.
