Dubai Dolphinarium is a 5,000-square-meter (54,000 sq ft) modern indoor facility with around 1250 seating capacity for Dolphin & Seal Show.

The Dolphins have their own private habitat area with 600 cubic metres (160,000 US gal) of sea water connected to the main arena pool.

Dubai Dolphinarium had come under criticism from various animal welfare campaigners in the beginning saying, it would lead to suffering and high dolphin mortality.

Activists also questioned the source of its black sea bottlenose dolphins, claiming that one of them was not born in captivity but rescued from fishermen's nets, and therefore should have been re-released.
