22. The Dubai Aquarium
Consider Dubai, and your mind conjures up photos of nice, colourful issues, and the Dubai Aquarium is a befitting instance of this picture. Housing over 400 sharks and stingrays and 33,000 different forms of essentially the most unique and uncommon fauna on this planet, the two.5m gallon aquarium is undoubtedly spectacular. But it surely quickly transpired that the construction was, like most issues in Dubai, constructed with self-importance in thoughts versus practicality.
Why? As a result of it was housed in the course of a buying centre. By February 2010, the central mall needed to be evacuated as water was discovered flowing from the tank! Six divers have been known as in to rescue the fish, and fortunately no animals have been harmed. This is hoping Dubai planning authorities have somewhat extra sense when constructing commences on their umpteenth, multi-billion greenback undertaking.
