Excursion to the Al Ain Emirate Zoo

The zoo has an area of 400 hectares at the foot of Mount Jebel Hafeet. It is the largest zoo in the region. It was founded in 1969. The main population of the zoo are animals and birds of the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula, housed in spacious enclosures. In addition, the cat family is widely represented, including the endangered white lion (there are fewer than 200 in the world). The zoo also has a terrarium and an aquarium. You will see the most wonderful animals that can be found in different parts of the world. There are more than 4,300 animals of 184 species, including 2,500 mammals, 1,200 birds and 600 reptiles. All animals live in a huge, well-groomed, fenced area, which is as close as possible to their real habitat. The creators of the zoo try very hard to make all animals feel comfortable and natural. On the territory of the zoo, to facilitate movement, there is a “train” with open wagons. If you love animals, then Al Ain Zoo will be a great place for your leisure time during your trip to the UAE!
