RED SEA

This name has been given to the large hall that has been finished off with a roof shaped like a “pilgrim’s shell” or scallop. The backdrop to the auditorium found inside is a spectacular aquarium that represents the Red Sea, in which species such as the shoal surgeon fish and the masked butterfly fish can be contemplated. It is interesting to note that the acrylic used is 33 cm thick throughout, which is the highest figure for any of the tanks.

The hall seats 440 viewers; the exhibition includes an interactive feeding demonstration featuring divers within the aquarium.

The exhibition includes an interaction between an on-stage presenter and a diver inside the aquarium, who together reveal different aspects of the Red Sea and the species that inhabit it to the attending public, as well as explaining some of the secrets about how the Aquarium operates. It is also used for holding scientific and cultural congresses.
