This image captures a vertical perspective within The National Aquarium, located in Al Qana, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The scene depicts a dimly lit indoor viewing area dominated by a towering, narrow aquarium tank, brightly illuminated with a cool blue light. The aquarium extends from the bottom to the top of the frame, flanked by dark, heavily textured, artificial rock formations that simulate an underwater canyon or cave. Within the aquarium, a large, light-colored ray, possibly a cownose ray, is prominently visible in the lower-middle section, swimming amongst numerous smaller fish. Submerged rock structures and coral are discernible. In the upper half of the tank, a submerged viewing tunnel or walkway is partially visible through the water. The aquarium glass is secured by a series of vertical, dark structural supports with horizontal brackets. Approximately 10-15 individuals are present in the foreground and mid-ground, mostly rendered in silhouette due to the strong backlighting from the aquarium. They are primarily oriented towards the tank, observing the marine life. On the left, a man in a dark jacket and light trousers stands, observing the tank. A child in a striped shirt stands nearby. To the right, a couple stands closer to the glass, with one individual pointing towards the ray. Other spectators are visible as indistinct figures in the crowd. The floor is dark and appears to have a textured surface. A low-mounted, warm-toned wall lamp provides localized illumination on the left rock-like wall. A green emergency exit sign, featuring a white running figure and arrow pointing right, is mounted on the dark rock wall on the right side of the frame.
