The largest and possibly the oldest animal park in the UAE, Al Ain Zoo, was created by H.H. Sheik Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan himself. The zoo has been around for more than 50 years. The zoo has been home to several of the most endangered and endangered species of animals within the region, like the Dama gazelles and Arabian Sand Cats. The zoo also provides refuge for hundreds of migrating birds who call the zoo their home for their stay.
A trip to the Al Ain Zoo is your opportunity to see the Western lowland gorilla, African fox, white lion, tiger, and other rare animal species. It is also possible to watch adorable parrots that steal the show, learn how the crocodiles get their food and take a horse ride through the region, meet the endangered rhino family, or visit the zoo by bicycle. Al Ain Zoo also offers customized tours of the zoo for guests.
The zoo was created by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who died in 1968. The zoo is among the largest and most diverse tourist destinations on both local and global scales. It is the biggest zoo of its kind in the Middle East. For more than 50 years, the zoo has been able to continue to communicate the visionary vision of the late Sheikh Zayed, who demonstrated his passion for conserving the wildlife of the United Arab Emirates by preserving the environment and maintaining its resources in line with the highest standards in the world.
