JEDDAH – This year, Fakieh Aquarium, one of the popular attractions offered by Fakieh Leisure and Entertainment Group, is celebrating its third anniversary. Plans are afoot for a number of celebratory events, a highlight of which will be the lowering of a cake into the aquarium.
“This year our anniversary marks the tremendous progress we have made in the three years that have passed since we opened our doors to the public,” said Jamil Attar, Executive Director of Fakieh Leisure and Entertainment Group. “Today, Fakieh Aquarium contains more than 200 species including sharks, groupers, sting rays, napoleon wrasse, sea horses and jellyfish among many others. We continue to expand the range of marine life and recently we brought the rare and exotic sea dragons from their home waters off the coast of Australia.
“In addition to seeing the wonders of the underwater environment of the Red Sea and marvels brought from other seas and oceans around the world, families can enjoy the amazing Dolphin and Sea Lion show every day, and later on this year they will have the opportunity to swim with the dolphins.”
Fakieh Aquarium is the only aquarium for the public in Saudi Arabia and offers edutainment — education and entertainment — for all members of the family.
Driven by a commitment to elevating the quality of domestic tourism in Saudi Arabia and with its main focus on making Saudi families happier families, Tarfeeh Fakieh provides residents and visitors to Jeddah with leisure, comfort and relaxation by delivering a diverse range of best in class tourist attractions that are designed for the enjoyment of guests of all ages, from children to adults, in a safe and healthy environment.
