A new video captures the just-opened Sharjah Safari in all its glory.
Featuring aerial shots, the video shows how Sharjah managed to recreate a typical African safari in the oasis town of Al Dhaid.
His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, inaugurated the park earlier today and took a tour.
Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, shared a video that captures how the attraction has recreated an African setting in a UAE desert.
It shows giraffes roaming majestically in its enclosure, while a rhino family spends quality time with each other, sipping from a lake in theirs! 4X4 vehicles take visitors right into the heart of all the safari action.
"His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah gifts the region with a unique touristic destination: Sharjah Safari, the biggest in the world outside of Africa. We will experience the wonders of Africa from the heart of Al Dhaid in Sharjah," Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed posted on Twitter.
Said to be the world's largest safari outside Africa, the attraction is home to 120 species of animals and over 100,000 African trees.
