About The Experience

Nestled in the foot of scenic Jebel Hafeet Mountain, Al Ain Zoo gives you the fabulous chance to come face-to-face with both indigenous and exotic animals. In an area of about 900 hectares, this engaging zoo displays the charming allure and diversity of animal and plant life at its blissful best. As a safe abode to over 4000 animals, it represents close to 200 wildlife species – over 25% of which are threatened species. After all, the zoo is highly regarded for its contribution in nature and wildlife conservancy, thanks to its significant tie-ups involving San Diego Zoo and the World Association of Zoos & Aquariums.
