Dubai Safari Park is currently open, with plenty of new animals to see, restaurants to eat at, and interactive edutainment shows to enjoy. Let’s learn about Safari Park Dubai attractions, opening times and ticket prices.

Please note that the park will be closed from June till September.

ABOUT DUBAI SAFARI PARK

Visitors can enjoy various interactive activities and awareness programmes and get the opportunity to feed the animals by hand. The park facilities are designed to make visits more convenient and fun. Visitors have access to these facilities.

• Restaurants and kiosks
• Baby changing rooms
• First aid facility
• Separate prayer areas for male and female visitors

MUST-VISIT ATTRACTIONS

Safari Park in Dubai makes an eye-catching first impression with its beautiful lakes and verdant landscaping. A fleet of eco-friendly vehicles takes you around the massive park.

The 119-hectare safari is divided into different zones, each featuring distinctive topography and a diverse animal population. In fact, the park is considered to have some of the best animal attractions in the UAE .

Let’s learn more about the zones and the kind of animals they have.

ARABIAN DESERT SAFARI

Want to see an Arabian Oryx in all its glory? This drive-through attraction is the place to be. A marshall greets visitors before they begin the trip. During the short journey, visitors encounter some of the best-known animals in the Arabian Peninsula, from the Arabian Oryx to gazelles and camels. However, the hero animal of this zone is the Arabian Wolf!

• Hero animal: Arabian Wolf
• Native animals: Arabian Oryx, Addax, Arabian gazelle, Sand gazelle, Mountain gazelle and Scimitar-horned Oryx.

EXPLORER VILLAGE

The Safari Journey at the Explorer Village is the main zone attraction. The traditional open safari transports you to the jungles of Asia and Africa for close encounters with the resident animal population. Visitors can explore the village in specially designed vehicles and spot species like zebra, water buffalo and cheetah (the village’s Hero Animal).

Families love the cheetah-run area, where they can see the frisky beasts in action. The place also offers giraffe feeding activities and a bird show.

• Hero animal: Cheetah
• Native animals: Hippo, South African Giraffe, Sarus cranes, Nile Crocodile, Guineafowl, Baboon, Scimitar-horned Oryx, Greater Kudu, Striped Hyena, Impala, Zebra and many more
• Must-visit places: Giraffe Feeding, Birds Show and Safari Journey

AFRICAN VILLAGE

Another go-to area is the African Village Dubai Safari Park, home to a range of exotic animal species, including majestic white lions, giraffes and the hero of this zone, the African elephants! The pachyderms are the park’s star attraction.

The Grand Aviary is the highlight of this attraction and the best place for keen birdwatchers. Making the experience more interesting are the guides who help you spot various rare birds during the journey. Don’t forget to drop by the reptile house the next time you get the chance to visit the park.

• Hero animal: African Elephant
• Native animals: White Lion, Antelope, Meerkat, Gorilla, Lemur, Chimpanzee, Cheetah, Hyenas, Carpet Viper, Greater Flamingo and more.
• Must-visit places: Gorilla House, Reptile House, Chimpanzee House and The Grand Aviary

ASIAN VILLAGE THEATRE

The Asian Village is home to a range of native species from the Asian continent, from tigers to gibbons. Visitors learn exciting things about the animals from the park’s expert keepers and guides. The hero animal of this attraction is the Moon Bear, also known as the Asian Black Bear.

• Hero animal: Moon Bear
• Native animals: Gibbon, Southern Cassowary and Mandarin Duck.

Wadi, or the Valley area, is where you can host a picnic or grab a quick bite from the restaurants inside Dubai Safari Park. Both restaurants overlook the river. So, you can watch ducks, peacocks, swans and even pelicans while enjoying your food!

Please note that outside food cannot be consumed within the park premises.

DUBAI SAFARI PARK TIMINGS

The Dubai Safari Park time is from 09:00 am to 05:00 pm (Monday to Sunday). A tour of the whole park easily takes over 5 hours, so ensure you have enough time to explore everything when you plan your visit. 

Please note that the park closes entries at 03:30 pm.

OTHER INFORMATION

There are over 3,500 free parking spots in the park, with transport to and from the main gate.

DUBAI SAFARI PARK CONTACT NUMBER

If you have questions about Dubai Safari Park ticket price and timings, use the park’s toll-free number: 800-900. The official website also has a handy feedback form if you wish to leave any comments after a visit.

SUSTAINABILITY AND CONSERVATION EFFORTS

The ambitious attraction offers more than entertainment. The park is built on a landfill site and has thus transformed the area into a reusable space. Furthermore, the park has adopted several eco-friendly and sustainable technologies, like harnessing solar energy to power facilities and electric vehicles.

Other efforts include repurposing food and animal waste for use as fertiliser. Several recycling bins are placed throughout the facility for visitors to use. The park also makes efforts to protect endangered species through extensive scientific research.

The safari is one of the most famous zoos in the UAE . It offers an immersive wildlife experience unlike any other in the UAE. A lot of work has gone into ensuring the animals are comfortable. Take the family!

Dubai Desert Safari Prices: How Do You Pick The Best Dubai Desert Tour?

A Dubai desert safari is a quintessential part of the Dubai experience. Getting beyond the skyscrapers, feeling the sand beneath your toes, and being introduced to Bedouin traditions combined with modern Emirati past-times.

Just one look for a desert safari in Dubai though and I’m sure you’ve already encountered just how overwhelming the decision is when it comes to picking a reliable tour operator.

Whilst the tour descriptions might feel similar, prices can vary vastly. What exactly are you paying for?

We’re going to talk you through here what to expect from your Dubai Desert Safari operator, and then compare the pricing and service you’ll get from each.

Let’s cut through the sales pitch and help you choose the right sort of safari for you and your travelling group.

When should you book a Desert Safari for – Morning, Afternoon or Overnight safari?

Whether to spend just a few hours in the desert or stay overnight is really up to you as there are a variety of options on offer. Afternoon desert safaris tend to take off after the heat of the day has gone, whereas morning safaris have a greater focus on the desert itself than on entertainment. 

You may prefer a morning desert safari if you’re on a tight schedule and already have an action-packed evening in the city. Families may also find mornings preferable to late nights with small children; you will find once your transport has you back in town, it can be close to 10-11:00 PM.

If you have time within your schedule, an overnight stay in the desert is highly recommended as you get to see the desert in all of its glory, at sunset and sunrise; it also gives you a greater chance of encountering wildlife as the creatures of the desert are more active during twilight and nighttime hours.

Overnight safaris in Dubai also give you the opportunity to stargaze over the unpolluted night skies. If camping isn’t quite your thing we can also recommend several Dubai glamping sites , including those offering coveted dome tents to see the desert in all its glory.

Each of the desert safaris we will list below has a slightly different agenda and activities on offer, but generally speaking, these are the sorts of experiences and cultural and sporting opportunities you can enjoy on a Dubai desert safari.

Hotel pick-ups

All of the desert safaris we recommend below include a hotel pick up and drop back service in Dubai so it’s all door-to-door service in an airconditioned vehicle.

Depending on what sort of tour you have booked (and prevailing COVID rules at the time of your visit), this may be a shared vehicle with other tour participants, or your group could have a vehicle to themselves, up to 7 passengers.

Experience the thrills of dune bashing

Not for the faint-hearted, dune bashing – literally driving up and down sand dunes at speed – is something that many desert safaris offer as part of their itinerary.

Is dune bashing safe? Dune bashing is usually done in specially adapted four-wheel-drive vehicles fitted with seat belts. Drivers are usually highly skilled, trained, and stick to designated routes through the desert – if you book with a reputable company.

Dune bashing is not recommended for pregnant women, children, or anyone with any sort of medical problem. If you suffer from motion sickness we recommend you look for tours where this part of the day’s entertainment can be avoided.

Surf the great sand sea on a sandboard

Grab your board and let the dunes take you! Sandboarding is an extreme sport similar to snowboarding and does demand some skill as well as a good sense of balance – but there’s certainly no harm for amateurs to give it a shot! Participants can stand, sit or lie on their boards and move across or directly down the dunes.

Closed-toed trainers and socks are recommended for this activity.

Speed across the desert on a quad bike or dune buggy

Another way to get to grips with the desert is by quad bike or dune buggy. Some packages include this, in fact, some tours specialise in desert dune buggy tours . Others, you may find this is an added extra you are offered once you arrive at camp.

Remember to check your itinerary closely before booking if this is something that you really want to do as it’s not an automatic inclusion.

Make sure you’re dressed appropriately – cotton trousers or jeans recommended as well as closed-toe shoes and something to tie back long hair.

Have a henna tattoo

Henna tattoos have been worn by the woman of the region for centuries and are offered to visitors at most desert camps and on many desert safaris. Tattoos are traditionally painted on the hands, arms, and feet of brides and are thought to bring good fortune.

In the past, designs would differ from tribe to tribe but nowadays henna artists usually carry a portfolio of designs for customers to choose from. The henna will last about two weeks before fading – always a fun souvenir of your time in Abu Dhabi.

Not recommended for sensitive skin or people with G6PD deficiency.

Enjoy a Camel Ride

Riding into the desert sunset on a camel is a dream for many whilst for others it can be a complete nightmare! Just remember to follow your guide’s instructions and lean backwards when the camel stands up or sits down to avoid any injuries.

Most desert safaris offer short camel treks of 10-20 minutes as well as longer treks for the more adventurous often for an additional fee.

Camel riding is not for everyone and is not recommended for pregnant women or people with serious musculoskeletal injuries as well as very young children.

You are bound to get plenty of opportunities to interact with the camels and take some photos even if you’re not too keen on taking a ride.

Indulge in some belly dancing

Some camps and desert safaris offer belly dancing as entertainment. Belly dancing has its origins in ancient Egypt but was practised widely throughout the Middle East until the rise of Islam.

Nowadays, belly dancing is performed for tourists in the UAE but many conservative Muslims still consider it haram (against the teachings of Islam).

Be mesmerized by a Tanoura Dance

Sometimes as an alternative to belly dancing and sometimes to complement it, a captivating tanoura dance might be offered. Another dance originating in Egypt, tanoura gets its name from the characteristic skirt worn by the dancer. Dancers are rather uniquely, always male, and spin around allowing for their elaborate skirts to extend outwards like a hypnotic parachute.

Note that if you book your safari to coincide with a religious holiday, including the holy month of Ramadan , no entertainment will be provided.

Smoke shisha

Many visitors to the Middle East like to try smoking shisha and a desert safari is one place where you can do this in the unique setting under desert stars.

Even if not a regular smoker, it’s worth giving it a try for the cultural experience. Whilst shisha does contain fewer chemicals than cigars and cigarettes, it still has its health hazards if smoked regularly.

Let your taste buds be tantalized by an Arabic BBQ

Many desert safaris include what is known as an Arabic barbecue meal. The barbecue often contains a selection of delicious meze-style starters such as hummus (chickpea dip), moutabal (aubergine dip), fattoush salad (lettuce, cucumber, tomato, radishes, onion, pomegranate, and molasses), olives, mixed pickles, and Arabic bread.

Main dishes at an Arabic BBQ include various grilled meats and kebabs; this often includes the very popular ‘shish tawook’ (chicken marinated in garlic sauce and grilled on skewers). Sitting around the campfire, talking about the day’s activities whilst indulging in this tasty feast is the perfect way to end the day.

Note that some camps and safaris will provide alcohol at an additional cost, but this is obviously not part of the traditional Arabic meal.

There are a number of desert safari operators with an online presence but we recommend booking through ‘ Get Your Guide ’ as there is a simple and easy booking system, you receive an instant confirmation text and can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your planned excursion – giving you just that extra bit of peace of mind, especially with current uncertainty around travel plans.

Another option we’ve always found reliable for independently booking tickets and tours in Dubai is Viator (a Trip Advisor Company) – they have great depth in the range of tickets and tours on offer in the UAE.

Premium Red Dunes & Camel Safari with BBQ at Al Khayma Camp

• Includes pick ups, dune bashing, sand boarding, camel ride, BBQ buffet, camel feeding, henna, falconry
• Quad Biking and extreme dune bashing optional extras
• See current pricing and available time slots here

What to expect: This is a very popular evening safari is run by OceanAir Travels and is the most booked in Dubai with good reason. Your 4WD pickup service will collect you from your hotel in Dubai between 3:00 to 4:00 PM and drive you to your desert location starting point.

Once you leave the highway, your driver pulls over to let the air out of the tires before you hit the dunes. Your dune bashing experience lasts around 45 minutes, before all the drivers congregate at the best sunset spot – truly one of the most magical moments on your trip to Dubai.

Next, you’ll be driven to Al Khayma Camp. It is one of the largest desert safari camps in Dubai. For this reason, it’s not very “personalised” and intimate; you are part of a much larger group once all the cars join together, but it’s very well set up, with clean bathrooms etc available.

Expect a buffet-style BBQ dinner with a range of local and international choices, there will be vegetarian options available too.

NB alcohol will not be included but is available as a paid extra – this applies at pretty much all camps offering beverages will only be water and soft drinks included.

You’ll spend around two to three hours at the camp where its possible to then take a short camel trek (don’t worry, this can be more than enough for most newcomers!), plus if you’ve chosen any added extras like quad biking this takes place from the camp, as well as sandboarding on the soft rolling dunes nearby.

They’ll give you some shisha to try, but if you’d like to experiment and try more flavours, this will cost you extra. Likewise, you can get a small henna design, or pay more if you’d like something more extensive.

TOP TIP: A lot of people go straight for the camel rides at dusk, but it can mean a long line. We’d recommend eating first, then the line will be shorter for the food and the camels!

Don’t want all the added extras? The team that runs Al Khayma camp can also offer you shorter daytime desert tours where you’ll get a basic introductory desert experience without the evening dinner and entertainment. If this interests you or you’re short on time in Dubai, check out this shortened 4-hour desert safari package here .

Desert Safari, Quad Bike, Camel Ride & More

A close second pick from a reputable tour operator (Ammar Tours), this is also an excellent choice for first-timers to the Dubai desert who want a little taste of everything at a reasonably packaged price.

• Includes pick ups, dune drive, quad biking, sandboarding, camel ride, BBQ Buffet, henna, shisha, belly dancing, tanoura dancer and fire dancer
• Excludes alcohol which costs extra

What to expect: The tour itinerary is very similar to the above, but you will have a slightly different camp and a little more of the evening entertainment thrown in. Your upfront cost for this Dubai desert tour is a little bit more because your quad biking experience is included as standard.

This desert tour also allows you a private tour option but be mindful this will significantly increase the price of your desert safari in Dubai!

If you’ve come to the Dubai desert for the adrenaline-pumping action, make sure to look for camps that specialize in this. Adding it on later as you think it looks cool and want to give it a try will either result in paying more, or they may not have enough equipment available. Deciding upfront if you’re more of an adrenaline junkie and the motorsports appeal, this is a wise move.

This tour skips the dune bashing part in the 4WD and you go straight to pick up your Quad Bikes.

• 1-hour quad bike included
• Also includes sandboarding, camel ride, henna, shisha, Tanoura and Khaliji dance show, unlimited soft drinks and BBQ meal
• See current pricing and available dates here

What to expect: They use the same Al Khayma camp as listed above but you’ll get the exclusive quad bike time before the rest of the group turns up for the evening entertainment.

The huge advantage of doing an overnight desert safari is, of course, getting the pleasure of enjoying both sunset in Dubai and the beautiful Dubai sunrise .

The downside, we know not everyone loves to “camp”. The suggestions we are going to give here are much closer to the camping than the glamping end of the scale! But please don’t rule them out, even if you’re not a huge camping fan this is an unforgettable experience in Dubai and you’ll find it much more immersive with your hosts than the straight in-and-out evening camps.

Platinum Heritage Overnight Desert Camp Experience

Hands down when anyone asks the best desert tour provider in Dubai they are going to recommend you Platinum Heritage. Especially if you have children, the elderly, or slightly more infirmed in your group, this is the way to go to ensure their comfort and a premium Dubai desert experience open to all.

• Includes pick-ups, desert nature tour, 4-course dinner, traditional Emirati entertainment, accommodation, breakfast
• Exlcudes dune bashing, any motorsports or sand sports
• Check available dates and pricing here on Viator

NB Guides will speak English and Arabic. Should you wish to request German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Italian or Chinese, request in advance.

What to expect: Instead of the regular Land Cruisers, you’ll get to ride in an open-roof 1950s Vintage Land Rover through the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve .

The focus with Platinum Heritage is on the desert wildlife and fragile ecosystem, rather than the desert dune sports. No rough and tumble dune bashing here. Enjoy a slow and sedate desert drive while you take in the oryx and gazelles that roam this protected reserve area of the desert where only a select few operators can run tours.

The camp here is much more luxurious than other setups. A 4-course meal is served to your table rather than a buffet. You can even get the opportunity to try camel milk and camel meat as part of your desert experience.

There are some more “traditional” desert activities on offer too, such as henna and camel rides as part of your overnight experience, but instead of belly dancing and Tanoura, you will get a more traditional lineup of Emirati cultural entertainment.

Camping is in traditional Bedouin huts with access to clean bathrooms. Catch the sunrise over the desert dunes followed by a hot Arabic breakfast as the perfect way to end your Dubai desert experience.

This overnight Dubai Desert Camp also always you the option to add on a Hot Air Balloon Experience at sunrise too. It does considerably add to the pricing for your desert safari but this is an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience to try in Dubai.

Note they can assist with car seats for infants and those less mobile, but the camp is not wheelchair friendly.

Dubai Overnight Safari, Camels & BBQ at Al Khayma Camp

Another option using the same camp set up at Al Khayma Camp allows you to extend your evening desert entertainment experience to overnight.

• Includes the evening activities such as dune bashing, sandboarding, camel trek, BBQ dinner, henna, shisha, dance
• Tent accommodation and breakfast also provided

What to expect: Once the “evening” crowd have left, the overnighters are provided with individual tents, mattress, sleeping bags, and pillows, absolutely none of your own camping gear is needed.

The camp is equipped with clean bathrooms for men and women and there is staff on hand throughout the night to help with any problems.

Wake to a hot Arabic breakfast and enjoy the sunrise across the desert before being returned by one of their experienced drivers back to the city, or cruise port at Port Rashid.

More Dubai Desert overnight options

Also, consider for an overnight desert safari in Dubai:

• Overnight Camping with BBQ Dinner and Breakfast – tented sleeping add on to their regular evening tours
• Overnight Camel Caravan with BBQ Dinner and Breakfast – includes a 45-minute camel trek in and airconditioned accommodation overnight.

You may also want to check out our guide to Dubai Desert Glamping , where to focus is more on the accommodation than the desert experience we talk you through all overnight desert options.

Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve 5-Hour Tour with Breakfast

• Includes luxury vehicle pick up, desert nature safari, binoculars, breakfast

What to expect: Another tour option from premium providers Platinum Heritage. If you want to skip the camping element this is a great way to still get a fully immersive desert experience.

An early start awaits as you are picked up by Range Rovers for your desert tour, in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. here your guides will talk you through the native wildlife.

Your morning is finished off with breakfast at the beautiful Al Maha Resort, on the grounds of the desert conservation reserve.

NB this tour is best suited to those aged 10+ years old and if pregnant, recommended not in the third trimester, but otherwise, this is one of the better tours for those with accessibility issues as you’re mostly in the vehicle, no extreme sports.

I always laugh a bit when I see people say “What’s the best cheap xx”, especially when asking for a service. Cheap and best may not always go hand in hand.

If by “cheap” you are looking for a no-thrills package of desert tour for a few hours, we could direct you to:

• Half Day Desert Safari – currently with 15% discount under AED 170 – includes dune bashing, sandboarding and camels but no meals with a 4-hour duration – morning and afternoon options.
• 4 Hour Desert Tour – Currently offering 25% discount so under AED 160 – same tour offered by our #1 choice here, but the shorter tour only includes the dune bashing, sand boarding and camel ride – all others are optional extras that will increase the price.
• Red Dune Desert Safari – currently AED 115 – a shorter safari mostly taking place with morning start times, you will get to experience dune bashing, camel rides and sandboarding with refreshments but no meal, back to town for a late lunch.

As you’ll see from customer ratings they are by no means inferior, you just don’t get fancy extras.

For many, this is more than enough for a desert taster if you haven’t got long in Dubai – just go in with your eyes wide open when asking for cheap that it’s very unlikely to include all the added extras and entertainment as mentioned above.

Once you’ve settled on your Dubai desert safari provider, don’t forget about what to wear and what to pack. We’ve seen plenty of tourist fails in this regard over our many years taking guests on desert safaris.

Let’s be clear, it’s not a fashion parade. It most likely will be hot and sandy – intensely hot and sweaty in summer and mild to even chilly in mid-winter. You will be taking part in physical activity and most likely dining seated on the floor.

Avoid making any embarrassing mistakes on your first desert safari and head over to our guide on what to pack and what to wear on Dubai Desert Safari – you’ll thank us later!

More Top Tips and Safety Matters when Considering a Dubai Desert Safari

Although a Dubai Desert Safari is on the top of most visitors’ wish lists, bear in mind it’s not suitable for everyone. It is not recommended for:

• Pregnant women
• Children under 6 (some will say children under 3)
• Those with mobility impairments and wheelchair users
• People with back or heart problems

Does that mean you need to miss out completely? No, in these circumstances sometimes it is only the dune-bashing element of the tour you should skip.

A good Dubai Desert Tour company can almost certainly find you an alternative way into the camp that will be safe for these excluded groups from the general tour bookings to at least enjoy the camp element of the experience.

If you are not keen on the cost of a Dubai desert safari or would prefer not to join a big tour group, here are a few options you can look into to still get a taste of the Dubai desert:

• Stay at a premium Dubai Desert Resort . These will allow you the luxury of 4-walls around you at night and all the mod cons but include desert experiences in their entertainment program, equally as good (and arguably better!) than you get on the bulk desert tour packages. We highly recommend Al Maha, A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa if the budget will stretch, Bab Al Shams Desert Resort is another good alternative or in Sharjah Emirate look at the Mysk Resorts – Mysk Al Bayader is an excellent choice nearby.
• Take yourself on a self-guided desert safari. Not for the inexperienced! Even just driving on the dunes is an acquired skill. It is easy to rent a car in Dubai and pick out some easy spots such as Al Qudra Lakes in the Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve which 2WD vehicles can access, but you will be surrounded by other “easy” campers. To hit the real dunes you’ll want a 4WD and experienced travellers with you and camp overnight.
• If you will be visiting Abu Dhabi , there are further desert safari options available just outside of the capital too, or look into some of the premier desert resorts in Abu Dhabi that also offer desert recreation activities – Anantara Qasr Al Sarab being our top choice if the budget will stretch or Tilal Liwa Hotel one of the most budget-friendly desert options in the UAE.

Dubai Desert Safari Frequently Asked Questions

The price of a Dubai Desert safari is quite variable. The cheapest you are looking at is around AED 150 ($40USD) per person. A “bells and whistles” package with camel trekking and dune sports, expect to pay more like AED 350 per person.

Camping overnight on your Dubai Desert Safari is an optional extra only some tour companies provide. Most Dubai desert tours run in the daytime, either leaving early in the day to beat the heat, or close to sundown but there are an increasing number of operators also offering camping overnight options. These range from quite rustic to luxury glamping. See all our suggestions above which may suit you best.

Dubai Safari ticket pricing revealed

Ticket rates to range from Dh20 to Dh30 for children and Dh50 to Dh85 for adults when safari park opens in December

Dubai: Ticket rates at soon-to-open Dubai Safari will range from Dh20 to Dh30 for children and Dh50 to Dh85 for adults, Gulf News can exclusively reveal.

Children below three, adults above 60 and people of determination (special needs) will enjoy the visit to the 119 hectare wildlife sanctuary project in Al Warqa for free, a senior official said.

The safari is expected to open in December.

“There will be two types of ticket rates for adults and children above three,” Khaled Sultan Hilal Al Suwaidi, director of Leisure Facilities Department at Dubai Municipality, told Gulf News after providing the first images of the tickets for Dubai Safari.

A sneak peek into Dubai Safari ahead of its opening.

The safari will have four villages — African, Arabian, Asian and an open Safari Village. There are separate tickets to enjoy the open safari ride in the Safari Village and to tour all the other villages in the Dubai Safari Park.

Visitors can either take them separately as per their choice or choose to go for an all-access ticket, which will have a discounted rate, Al Suwaidi explained.

Meet Leo and Snowy:  These lion cubs were born recently at the Dubai Safari park.

Dh20 for children and Dh50 for adults will be charged if visitors choose to just take a ride in the open safari.

The same ticket rates will be charged separately if they only visit the other villages of the safari park.

“We have kept separate rates because there is so much to see and people may want to visit again. For those wishing to see everything on the same day, the all-access ticket with discounted prices will be available at the main entrance. It will be Dh35 for children and Dh85 for adults,” said Al Suwaidi.

He said visitors need to specify their choices while booking their tickets through the app, which will be launched later. They can also purchase all-access tickets at the main entrance.

Around 2,500 to 3,000 animals and many entertainment programmes and games will be part of the phase one of the Dh1b project.

However, he said that residents will have to wait for some more days after the UAE National Day on December 2 to visit Dubai Safari.

“Though we are ready for it, we will not be opening on the National Day. But it will definitely be in December,” he said.
