Dubai Municipality made a soft opening of the most awaited Dubai Safari Park on Tuesday.
Members of the media and invited guests were present during the soft launch.

According to Khaled Al Suwaidi, director of leisure facilities department, the working hours of the safari will be from 9am to 5pm.

The Dh1 billion project will provide visitors and residents a close encounter with animals in an open exhibit through four villages - African, Asian, Arabian and Open Safari Village, besides a Children's Farm for just Dh30 for children and Dh85 for adults.
Visitors who choose to visit the villages, without heading to the Open Safari Village, will pay Dh20 for children and Dh50 for adults. Children under three, elderly above 60 and people of determination are exempted from entry ticket charges.
Al Suwaidi previously told Khaleej Times the safari, located in Al Warqa-5, aims to be home to 5,000 animals by 2020, preparing its facilities to accommodate over 10,000 visitors a day. More animals will be brought in over the years to continue providing visitors with a new and fresh experience.
