Polin Aquariums are continuing work on the Old Doha Port – Grand Terminal Project Aquarium.
Work is ongoing on the acrylic installation and life support system installations. When fully commissioned, this will be a focal point of the Old Doha Port. Guests who arrive in Doha for Qatar World Cup 2022 will pass through this aquarium.
The aquarium is designed to reflect the Arabian Sea coral species and rock formations and will display the Zekreet, which is an area in north-western Qatar near Dukhan.
It will consist of 6000 m³ water volume with 41 different aquatic animal species carefully selected by Polin Aquariums’ experts from Arabian Sea inhabitants.
There will be two individual escalator/underwater tunnels, one for departing passengers and one for arriving passengers. The Aquarium also will be viewable from all four sides with acrylic panels installed on both floors.
A spokesperson for Polin Aquariums comments: “We use advanced concrete construction, mechanical and electrical systems, and information technology so we are focused on providing the best aquatic habitats and best environments in which to view them.
“With a team of experienced architects, engineers, biologists, veterinarians, and technical experts, the success of the Old Doha Port – Grand Terminal Project Aquarium is about to build with deep knowledge and a wealth of experience.”
