Oman Aquarium, Oman, Muscat.

Advanced Aquarium Technologies (AAT) delivers the Middle East’s largest themed aquarium, home to 30,000 animals in over 55 exhibits.

Project Overview

The Oman Aquarium is a premier visitor attraction at the Mall of Muscat, a vast multi-purpose retail and entertainment venue.

The multi-story, 5,600-square-meter aquarium has a 1,800,000-litre main tank viewed through a 9-meter x 7-meter viewing panel that weighs 30 tonnes.

24.02.2019 Main Tank (155) Al Jarwani Entertainment contracted AAT to design, construct and deliver this project including a review of the concept, schematics and complete design development including the interior architecture.

To accelerate construction, AAT concurrently manufactured Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) exhibit tanks offsite at global prefabrication hub, complete with rockwork and theming.

Oman AAT was also responsible for life support systems as well as acrylic thermoforming and bonding.

Oman 1 Advanced Aquarium Technologies’ sister-company – AAT Acrylics – manufactured and supplied the acrylic.
