In celebration of International Tiger Day, which falls on July 29 each year, the zoo is offering tiger viewing experiences from 10 a.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During these sessions, visitors can hear stories about the tigers from their dedicated keepers, who share valuable insights into the animals’ behaviors, characteristics, quirks, and the global efforts being made to protect them from extinction.
For 57 years, Al Ain Zoo has played a pivotal role in preserving endangered species, establishing itself both locally and globally as a leader in wildlife conservation and biodiversity protection.

Guests can now enjoy close-up views of the magnificent Amur tigers—the largest tiger subspecies in the world—at the newly opened tiger exhibit. The display includes two main areas:
An outdoor exhibit, where visitors can observe the tigers' vibrant orange coats as they roam a specially designed habitat. This habitat mimics their natural environment and includes shaded areas, a misting system, cooling platforms, three water pools, and a cave zone to regulate temperature and comfort.
A behind-the-scenes area, which houses enrichment features and provides top-tier care, including a cooled pool, refreshing mist sprays, and a designated interactive training zone where the tigers are actively engaged by their caregivers.
Al Ain Zoo is home to several endangered tiger subspecies, including the American jaguar, Arabian leopard, Amur tiger, and Bengal tiger. The zoo ensures these animals are protected and rehabilitated in environments resembling their native habitats. It also runs a variety of educational and community programs to encourage public participation in their care and conservation.
The zoo's conservation efforts encompass breeding programs, species rehabilitation, and public education on the importance of wildlife protection. These efforts are supported by local and international initiatives, agreements, memberships, and conference participation.
Established in 1968 by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Al Ain Zoo was the first of its kind in the Middle East. Today, it stands as a global hub for conservation and wildlife preservation, housing over 4,000 animals from both local and international ecosystems—making it a truly unique recreational and educational destination.
To enhance the visitor experience, the zoo offers services for seniors over 70, people of determination, and guided transportation for individuals and families.
Among the zoo’s standout attractions is the Al Ain Safari, spanning 217 hectares, making it the largest man-made safari in the world. The safari offers an immersive experience where visitors can observe over 400 free-roaming wild animals, feed giraffes in designated areas, and visit the Kingdom of Lions, all without traditional cages—creating an unforgettable journey into the wild.
