In
order to give visitors a true reef experience,
as one would see underwater, the Marine Park
built a giant aquarium holding 360,000 liters
of seawater. Inside is an exact replica of
a coral reef down to each detail as it is
found beneath the Red Sea.
The
water conditions: clarity, salinity and temperatures
are kept exactly as in nature to provide visitors
with a genuine reef experience.
The
reef is comprised of a vast and stunning coral
colony with about 400 species of fish. Herbivores,
predators, colorful reef fish, open sea fish,
all swim and live side by side, as in nature.
In
order to maintain water freshness and environmental
conditions, a complex control system was developed
for ongoing maintenance. Water is changed every
5 hours.
Every day at 12 noon a diver dives into the
giant aquarium to feed the fish, delighting
both fish and those watching!
