Zoos & Wildlife

Safari drives, rainforest domes and desert conservation

Wildlife attractions here lean towards conservation and climate-controlled habitats. Dubai Safari Park runs open-range villages, Green Planet is a bio-dome rainforest, and Emirates Park Zoo in Abu Dhabi mixes traditional enclosures with feeding encounters.

Zoos & Wildlife (3)

Dubai Safari Park is seasonal, generally opening from October to May, and needs three to four hours with the drive-through villages. Green Planet is a 90-minute indoor visit that works in any weather. Emirates Park Zoo is the most hands-on, with scheduled giraffe and elephant feeds.

Morning visits are better everywhere — animals are active before the heat builds.
