The 7000-square-meter (75,000-squarefoot) facility with its numerous pools cost over 25 million dollars. The aquarium focuses on the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, and serves above all to raise awareness about the protection of marine life.

There are seahorses, perch, barracudas, turtles, eels, jellyfish and even sharks from over 20 countries and regions, including Kenya, Indonesia, Portugal and the Netherlands....
