Swim with sharks at Dubai mall
Dubai just changed how we'll all look at malls forever. The Dubai Mall could have changed the rules simply by installing an aquarium and zoo ... or gone even crazier by putting sharks in the water. Hell, watching sharks swim is a great way to eat your Auntie Ann's pretzel. In Dubai, you can have your friend hold your pretzel while you put on a wetsuit and hop right in!
At the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo within the mall, visitors can slide into a 10 million-liter tank with sand tiger sharks, reef sharks and leopard sharks – not to mention giant groupers and stingrays.
Certified divers can arrive at the mall an hour before the dive (which lasts 20 – 30 minutes), while non-certified divers need to take a SCUBA course (noon on Thursday or Saturday). Certified divers will need to spend $225, with $300 for those who aren't certified.
