Desert wildlife at Al Ain Zoo

A zoo dedicated to wildlife in the desert will soon be part of Al Ain, as Al Ain Zoo is planning to expand its premises with an area dedicated to this breed of wildlife alone.

“As part of the UAE’s commitment to wildlife conservation both within the UAE and internationally, Al Ain Zoo is transforming the area around the existing zoo into a new institution dedicated to exhibiting, interpreting and conserving desert wildlife,” said a spokesperson of the zoo.

The new leisure and learning destination will be called Al Ain Wildlife Park & Resort and intends to educate the public about the desert world, while adding to the list of tourist destinations in the UAE.

The Sheikh Zayed Desert Learning Centre will feature educational exhibits that celebrate the wildlife and traditions of the desert, celebrate the conservation heritage of the late Sheikh Zayed and help chart a sustainable future for desert living, let the spokesperson know.

Information on which animals will be held at the park is unavailable at this point.
