Sharjah opens one of world’s largest safari parks

  DUBAI – Sharjah opened Sharjah Safari—one of the world’s largest safari parks—on Thursday (February 17), with ticket prices starting at just Dh15 for children. Park authorities said the safari is the largest wildlife park outside Africa. The park is located near Al Dhaid town and is home to more than 120 animal species and more than 100,000 African trees. Sharjah Safari has been designed like a real safari, but with almost invisible barriers that allow visitors to immerse with the environment while being protected from roaming animals. Dr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, ordered that Sharjah Safari be made into a suitable environment for African animals. Video posted on Thursday showed Dr. Sheikh Sultan visiting the park that featured lakes and lots of greenery. The Sharjah Safari occupies 8sqkm of the Sharjah desert. The Sharjah Safari is open from 8:30am to 6:30pm daily. Tickets start at Dh15 for children aged 3 to 12, Dh40 for a 2-hour walking tour, ad Dh275 for a luxury tour.
