Atlantis is a cool looking hotel, but they have a live whale shark in captivity there. The American British Academy in the middle east is running a campaign to free the fish. There are lots of cool hotels in Dubai just choose another eg Burj al Arab, Jumeria beach.

Thank you so very much for researching this info on the “barb”. I was very curious as to whether the barb was released or not during an attack? Thanks again. norma

I’ve stepped on a few stingrays in the waters off the northeast Florida coast, but luckily none of them ever got me with a barb. You know when you touch one by the feel of it, but they invariably scoot off as quickly as possible. I was body surfing once at Puerta La Libertad in El Salvador, when a twelve-foot long wide manta ray leaped out of the water about twenty feet away. They’re harmless, but if I’d been out of water I would have had to change my shorts.
