Official Account: Hurghada Grand Aquarium Entrance Tickets

Très déçu par le Grand Aquarium de Hurghada. L’entrée est bien trop chère pour ce qui est proposé. Les bassins sont mal entretenus, certains en mauvais état, et plusieurs espèces annoncées sont inexistantes. Beaucoup d’animaux semblent en mauvaise santé, ce qui est triste à voir. On a clairement l’impression d’une attraction purement commerciale, sans véritable projet écologique ou éducatif derrière. Une visite que je ne recommande pas.

Visiting the Hurghada Grand Aquarium was a deeply disappointing experience marked by clear signs of animal suffering and lack of hygiene. The entrance fees of over €30 for adults and half for children are disproportionate to what is offered. ES seems as if ES is all about making money at the expense of animals. Poor husbandry conditions and cruelty to animals: The animal husbandry conditions were particularly shocking. The aquariums lacked any species-appropriate environment. ES was not a single living coral to be seen. Instead, the pools were equipped with dead, petrified corals and stones painted with colorful paint to simulate a vibrant underwater world. In most basins, the blue wall paint was already peeling off and lying on the bottom as unsightly and potentially dangerous waste. The cages for the ostriches were so small that they had less space than the walkway for visitors. The owls and bats also suffered visibly from the barren conditions – their enclosures were empty and offered no branches, nesting facilities or hiding places. Lack of hygiene and care: The hygienic conditions were also catastrophic. In many corners of the aquarium there was an unpleasant smell of bad water, fish or runoff hanging in the air. I didn't see a single basin that was flawless. Ironically, the only clean and neat area was the final souvenir shop, which makes the operator's priorities clear. Conclusion: Not a recommendation, but an appeal for closure: I cannot recommend the Hurghada Grand Aquarium under any circumstances, even as a pastime for children. ES is a place that disregards animal welfare standards and should be closed urgently to ensure the welfare of animals.

Ikke prisen værd. Alt for dyrt i forhold til hvad du får for pengene. Indgangsprisen matcher slet ikke zooens størrelse og indhold. Det er en stor penge maskine - du må ikke selv tage billeder men kan købe dem for 15 euro bagefter pr. Stk. vil du selv have kamera med ind koster det yderligere 25 euro. Fodre til dyrene kan købes for 1 Euro og kameltur for 7 euro. Legeplads 5 Euro. Akvariedelen var meget de samme fisk og zooen udenfor levede dyrene i meget små burer. Hele zooen var ret lille og kunne ses på 1 time til 1,5. Den er heller ikke særlig barnevogn/klapvogns venlig. Grundet belægning og mange trapper uden elevator. obs der er ikke rigtig noget Air con inde og kun lidt skygge fra træer udenfor. Alt i alt dårlig leveforhold for dyrene og en stor penge maskine. Har du dog børn i 3-4 års alderen vil de synes at fiskene og skildpadderne er sjove. Den eneste grund til at det er to stjerne og ikke en.
