Dubai Safari Park (Arabic: دُبَي سَفَارِي بارك, romanized: Dubai Safari Park) is an eco-friendly safari park located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The park's major source of energy is solar energy. The park is located on Al Warqa 5 on the Hatta Road.
The park has around 3000 animals from 78 species of mammals – including 10 different carnivores and 17 primates, 50 types of reptiles, 111 kinds of birds, and amphibians and invertebrates.
The park replaced the Dubai Zoo on its 50th anniversary. On 15 May 2018, the park closed for renovations and improvements until being reopened in October 2020. The world-class wildlife park provides a safe and healthy environment representing more than 250 species native to the Middle East, Asia and Africa. A unique edutainment experience for visitors of all ages and nationalities, the park aims to raise awareness about wildlife welfare and conservation through best practices and research.
