Dubai
Zoo is the oldest zoo of its kind not only in the United Arab
Emirates but also in the Arabian Peninsula. Dubai Zoo also
happens to be the first Arabian zoo to breed the rare Chimpanzee
and Arabian wild cat.
It is a special place of interest and fun for tourists and the
people of Dubai. |

| If
you're used to seeing zoo animals in large spaces, you might
want to forego a visit to this zoo. Conditions for the animals
are basic, at best. Space is restricted, and many of the cages
are cramped

H. H. Sheikh
Rashid bin Maktoum, the late Ruler of Dubai, permitted Otto J.
Bulart to build the Zoo on a two hectacre plot in Jumeirah.
The Dubai Zoo became a landmark as it indicated the "town's
end".
During the first couple of years of its existance, the Dubai Zoo
housed only a few animals like the big cats, monkeys and
hoofed-animals. There was also a small acquarium with some
fishes and reptiles.
In 1971 the management of the Dubai Zoo was taken over by the
Dubai Municipality.
From May 1986 to May 1989, a part of the Zoo was redesigned and
rebuilt. From June 1989 to the present there is constant
re-designing and renovation. |
