Our colleagues

Sustainability education
With a fundamental belief in our team’s potential and the power of working as one community to tackle sustainability, we routinely incorporate sustainability awareness into engagement with our colleagues.

Ocean clean-ups
Pollution along coastlines can have major implications for marine life, including ingestion and entanglement. Together with our colleagues and their families we regularly conduct beach clean-ups in collaboration with local government agencies.

Habitat restoration
Atlantis colleagues also conduct mangrove planting events in partnership with local non-profit organisations and government agencies. Mangroves have an enormous capacity for absorbing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, trapping them in flooded soils for millennia, and providing vital ecosystems for coastal species.

Guests

Marine education programmes
Delivering meaningful marine educational programmes to guests from around the world, our aim is to empower them to act on behalf of nature, with programmes ranging from presentations to back-of-house tours, snorkelling, diving and even helmet diving experiences.

Educational events
We engage guests with educational activities in celebration of international awareness days, including Shark Week, World Oceans Day and International Sawfish Day. These programmes help us to bring conservation issues to life, while inspiring people to join us on our mission to protect the environment.

Taking Learning Online
Our conservation messaging is constantly being enhanced by creating meaningful content which we upload to our Atlantis Mobile Application: the learning doesn’t stop when guests leave us.

Public Conservation Speakers
We host local and regional speakers to deliver inspirational talks on conservation to our guests and our local community.

Schools

Edu-venture programs
We deliver educational programmes to local students of different ages groups in the Lost Chambers Aquarium, Dolphin Bay and Aquaventure to promote marine conservation.

School camps
School camps for local students include exclusive back-of house tours to our fish hospital, talks on corals in the UAE, and show-and-tell sessions.

Communities

Contributing to underserved communities
Our marine education programmes are accessible to all, with impactful experiences, marine animal encounters, admission to our attractions, and diving experiences offered to underserved communities.

Natural disaster response
Atlantis Dubai has always acted fast in the face of natural disasters, and our colleagues from 89 countries frequently step up to provide assistance to people in need. Fundraising initiatives include the 2018 Kerala floods, the Sri Lanka floods in 2017, the 2015 earthquake in Nepal and the 2013 Philippines typhoon. In 2020 we donated 20,000 meals to the 1 Million Meals drive to help people in the UAE during the COVID-19 crisis.
