After our trip to creek park we moved on to the Dubai Mall. It is the largest mall on the planet and had created a huge traffic jam in Dubai on its day of opening. It is not completely ready but the parts of it which are ready are open to the public. There are various specialities of the mall. Some among them are olympic size ice rink, large aquarium etc.
On our entry in the mall the first thing we saw was a huge line of cars waiting for a parking space. Atlast we foun one. The mall was a beauty in sorts. Ice rink was the first that we saw in the mall. There were many people skating in there. Some were novice while some were much more experienced. Altogether they were a great sight. Now we moved on to the gold souk. It was a very beautiful place. On the ceilings there were many chandelieres. There was a different chandeliere on every turn. The design and the patterns on them were really beautiful. They were a sight to behold. There was a huge emperors throne at one place. It was so big that more than two average sized people would fit in it while one can easily sleep in it! From here we moved on to the aquarium.
Now the sight that was present in front of us was breathtaking. There were fishes of different kinds in it. The glass enclousure in which they were kept was magnificant. They were fishes of size ranging from a two inches to a bull shark weighing 80kg. An artificial coral reef was made there. There were joker fishes bobing up every now and then. They were string rays, hammerheads, bull sharks, tiger sharks, sucker fishes and some fishes which we saw for the first time in our life. They made a great sight. We took many pictures and shot videos. There was a huge crowd surronding the enclosure. We then moved on to the tunnel. Tunnel was a place build under the water of glass. It felt as if we were among the fishes. I saw a shark with his razor sharp teeth glide past me inches away from me. We were seeing deadly fishes like the sting rays glide away inches away from us. The came the main attraction-the feeding. Two divers went in that tank full of deadly fishes without any protection. The only protection for them was that one of them had a rod his hand while the other had dead fishes to be fed. Many small fishes were staying around the divers in hope that they would get something but it was only to feed the sting rays it seemed. The diver with the fishes would wait for sting ray to come his way and then he would put a dead fish in his mouth. It was so very risky that if the tail of sting ray would touch him he would reach where Steve Irwin is. When a fish was given to the sting ray some of the small fishes would run behind that sting ray in hpe of getting something from him. In this way the feeding was going on. We later moved from the tunnel.
At this movement our clocked showed 09:30pm. We decided it was time to go home. So we turned our way to the car park. This was the time when the mall again showed us its hugeness. We got lost in the mall. That is were unable to go the way we had come from. The mall cmprises of many floors and it is very difficult to find a particular place. We were asking the staff, the security people our way but they proved of very less help. After wandering around in search of our way out of the mall for around half an hour we found our way and reached our home dead tired.
