Red Sea Aquarium — Attraction in Red Sea

we visited this place as part of a Hurghada city tour. I’m guessing this is the only way to get any foot traffic. This was the only part of my trip I found truly depressing. The condition of the “aquarium” (I say this loosely) was extremely poor. Fish looked very stressed in tanks that were far too small. Dead fish left in tanks. Dead anemone and coral. It was just appalling. It was so uncomfortable to see the lack of care, especially when you know they were a stones throw away from a thriving sea, that I left very quickly. The children found it stressful also. I know aquariums offer those not so keen on getting in the sea the ability to see the beautiful fish of the Red Sea, but this is not the place to do it. If the owners or officials running this are reviewing, please consider either shutting this down or improving the conditions.

On a positive note - there is tremendous room for...

I was extremely disappointed with the place, it’s very expensive as we had to pay $33 per person even the ten years old boy, for nothing. I mean almost nothing. We didn’t see but few normal animals and few tanks of poor fish exhibit. The only somehow good show area for the fish tank was closed for their own photography business and don’t allow us to get close or take pictures in our own mobiles. The only good area was the turtle house. Doesn’t worth the trip or the money paid. It should be much more advanced specially with the extreme high ticket price. And being in the Red Sea reserved area. You should show that beauty, I think you need to work more in developing that area and reduce the...
