Dubai Municipality has entered into a joined venture with Dubailand in building a new zoo in Dubai. The construction is aimed to start this year.
There is also a possibility of introducing a camel safari in the Dubai Zoo.
Animals in the existing Dubai Zoo will be moved to their new home in about after a year and a half. The core zoo is being prioritized to be finished first to facilitate the transfer of the animals, as around 1,200 of them are currently confined in their current location in Jumeirah.
The new location promises 500 acres of land. However, this will not be an ordinary zoo, as it will also have zoo safari, night zoo, and educational and recreational facilities for kids and adults. This is part of the aspiration of Dubai Municipality to make this project to be a major tourist attraction in Dubai.
