Incredibly Expensive Things Found Only in Dubai

Penguin Encounter Exhibit

Est. Value: $40-$140/ticket*
Produced by: Majid Al Futtaim Group
Since its unveiling in 2005, The Mall of the Emirates claimed the title of the largest shopping mall globally. The addition of a ski resort within the mall five years later amazed visitors, yet the mall had more surprises in store. Later, the Penguin Experience was launched inside Ski Dubai, allowing guests to engage with and learn about both King and Gentoo penguins.


Offering a variety of penguin encounters, ticket prices range from $40 to $140. The premium tickets grant enthusiasts the opportunity to closely interact and even pet the penguins, always under careful supervision.
For those purchasing tickets on the lower end of the price spectrum, the experience still includes a walk through an ice cave and the chance to observe the penguins at a close range. These charming and fluffy creatures appear unphased by human presence, likely due to the absence of land predators in their Antarctic homeland.
