If you want a short, reliable, and deeply engaging day out from El Gouna, the Grand Aquarium delivers. In one visit you can stroll a 48-meter underwater tunnel, watch shark feedings, touch starfish at the interactive pool, and explore a lush indoor rainforest — all with a local guide who explains species and conservation. It’s ideal for families, anybody curious about marine life, photographers, and travelers who prefer a structured, educational outing over open-water activities.
Families with kids, non-divers, photographers, school groups, and anyone who wants a fast, comfortable intro to Red Sea biodiversity.
Walking beneath the living ocean is the highlight for almost everyone. Sharks, rays and shoals of tropical fish swim overhead — a slow, cinematic moment that’s perfect for photos and calm awe.
Photo tip: Use a mid-range zoom to capture fish close-ups and wide tunnel shots. Low ISO and steady hands work best under dim lighting.
Experienced divers perform daily feedings — fascinating, educational, and safe. Your guide will explain predator-prey relationships and how the aquarium cares for these species.
Kids and adults can gently meet starfish, sea cucumbers and small anemones under supervision — a tactile way to learn about marine life.
The aquarium’s other half brings freshwater, tropical plants and small land animals into the visit — a pleasant contrast to reefs and tanks.
For adrenaline seekers, the Grand Aquarium offers a supervised shark dive (limited availability and additional fee). Reserve early; spaces fill fast.
Best time to visit: Morning or late-afternoon sessions avoid midday heat and crowds.
Booking: Pre-book “skip-the-line” tickets if you’re visiting in high season to save wait time.
What to bring: Sunglasses, a light jacket for air-conditioned galleries, comfortable shoes, and a phone with extra battery for photos.
Kids: The venue is family-friendly; toddlers are welcome but supervise touch pool interactions.
Accessibility: The aquarium provides wheelchair access; notify us if you need assistance so we can arrange timely pickup and support.
Conservation note: Support the aquarium’s education programs by asking about their conservation initiatives — many trips include small donation options at the gate.
Standard trip prices vary by operator and group size — children often have discounted rates. We recommend:
Book early for popular dates (weekends & holidays).
Ask for a family package if you travel with kids — operators commonly bundle transfers + tickets at a lower per-person rate.
Add the shark-dive in advance if you want the experience; on-site requests may be declined due to capacity.
