If you thought that the only animals you’ll get to see or interact with in the Middle East are camels in the desert, you couldn’t be more wrong. Located 35km from Abu Dhabi city, in Al Bahia, Emirates Park Zoo is home to over 1700 animals. These creatures include a pair of exotic white tigers, an Asiatic elephant, a 300kg Siberian bear and many more. The zoo offers you the opportunity to visit animals you don’t see on a daily basis from a variety of enclosures. From the pretty birds in Flamingo Park to the naughty monkeys in Primate Parade, you get the chance to learn more about the creatures that share the Earth with us, and understand the importance of preserving their habitats and lives.

It’s not just a visual treat – at Emirates Park Zoo, the experience is as interactive as it gets. Fancy filling the tummies of Indian elephants, the largest land mammal in the world? How about climbing to new heights to share a breakfast with the outstretched mouths of giraffes? Would you like to pet those adorable donkeys, or play with the dozens of colorful birds at the Bird Park? These opportunities provided by the zoo take the enjoyment to a whole new level. Further entertain yourself with exciting live shows such as the Sea Lion show, the Elephant Encounter, and even the animal magic show. So don’t hesitate to bring anybody – the zoo is for all to enjoy!
