ARABIAN WILDLIFE PARK in SIR BANI YAS ISLAND

The Arabian Wildlife Park is among the most popular wildlife attractions in Abu Dhabi, and it is also one of the biggest. For animal lovers, this is a must-see tourist site on their itinerary. With 13,000 free-ranging animals, it is a sight to see unlike any other. Sir Bani Yas Island, where it is located, serves as a perfect illustration of how conservation efforts may produce results. Some endangered species were introduced to the country many years ago, and their number has gradually increased since then. They were on the verge of extinction as recently as the 1970s. Their present population is estimated to be about 500. As a result, it is much more than simply a wildlife attraction in Abu Dhabi. It has served a bigger function than just being a tourist attraction.

MANGROVE LAGOON NATIONAL PARK

This location is significant because it has been globally recognized as one of the world's 2,000 wetlands, making it one of the most significant in the world. The Al Wathba Wetland Reserve may be smaller in size when compared to other animal attractions in Abu Dhabi, but the lack of space is more than accounted for by the richness of species that can be seen there.
