Each zone offers close-up encounters with a variety of wildlife and includes educational and immersive activities that highlight animal welfare and the park’s conservation efforts. Additionally, popular live presentations by expert zoologists will return, providing an engaging look at the wonders of the animal world.

“We pride ourselves on reimagining the way people experience wildlife in Dubai, enabling guests of all ages to connect with animals in a way that’s fun, educational, and respectful,” Al Zarouni added.

As the sixth season begins, visitors can look forward to exploring the park's expansive landscape and interacting with its diverse array of animals, all within environments thoughtfully designed to cater to the needs of each species.

Aside from Dubai Safari Park, another popular attraction in the emirate has also set the stage for its upcoming season. Global Village has announced that its 29th season is slated to begin on October 16 and will continue until May 11, 2025.

Global Village remains closed during the summer months, along with other popular destinations such as Al Wasl Plaza in Expo City Dubai and Dubai Miracle Garden.

Summer to end soon

As September ushers in the final stretch of summer, UAE residents can expect a gradual decrease in temperatures. The arrival of the autumn equinox on September 23 will mark this shift, as the Sun aligns directly with the equator, leading to nearly equal daylight and darkness across both hemispheres. This marks a refreshing transition to the cooler months ahead.

With summer drawing to a close, other popular destinations are also gearing up to open its gates to the public and welcome visitors once more.
