Discover a Fascinating Wildlife During Your Dubai Holidays

by Amanda Sutcliffe Travel Deals

Dubai is one of the most glamorous cities in the Middle East and the largest city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is also the capital of the Emirate of Dubai and a major travel destination visited by millions of tourists every year. Dubai would certainly charm you with its picture-perfect skyline and towering skyscrapers, including the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa. However, there are many other aspects of Dubai that make your holiday spent in this city a memorable experience. Among them is a visit to the newest wildlife attraction called Dubai Safari.

It is a must-visit for every animal lover holidaying in this part of the world. Spread across a vast area of more than 110 hectares, it is home to over 200 species and the total number of wild animals is 3,000. During your Dubai holidays, you'll also get the chance to know more about its breeding and conservation programme, which has the potential to increase the number of wild animals to 5,000. Dubai Safari has been divided into four different zones and each of them has some unforgettable experiences in store for visitors.

One of them is Asian Village, which allows you to experience the natural environs of Asian rainforests with its vast expanses of lush greenery. These areas have been created as dense rainforests with an ecosystem that helps some fabulous reptile and bird species to flourish. While exploring this part of Dubai Safari, you'll come across many exotic birds as well as large snakes. You can also witness an exhibit dedicated to the flame-haired orangutan and the Indian rhinoceros. Among the fascinating wild animals you'll get to see in this wildlife area is the Borneo pygmy elephant. It has been classified as endangered species and there are only about 1,500 of them in the wild.

African Village is yet another interesting zone you'd like to explore during your visit to Dubai Safari. It helps you witness the most incredible animals of the world closely, including the white lions rescued from a hunting farm located in South Africa. Under the care of this wildlife park's conservation programme, these big cats have been given a fresh start. This particular zone also houses many wild animals from the African continent and the Al Wadi picnic area, such as flamingos, lemurs, and chimpanzees. The park's conservation programme also resulted in the first in-house birth of two white lion cubs.

Located at the entry point of this wildlife park is the Arabian Safari, which helps visitors to see some of the best natural wonders of the desert in its vast expanses of 60,000 square metres. A guided tour lasting for about 20 minutes would take you through demonstrations of the ecosystem of the desert and allow you to learn important facts about the region's wildlife. It also helps you know more about the role of this park in conserving the natural beauty and endangered animals of the desert. You'll also have a wonderful time during the drive at the Safari Village, which is another major attraction of Dubai Safari.
