Jebel Hafeet & Al Ain Zoo

---

Cost of entry to the Zoo? 2 Dirhams (30p) Unfortunately we were denied access to the animal enclosures so I could not "weigh" the animals by trying to push them over.

Added a couple of shots of the sweet water ride at the Jabel Hafeet Hotel. I would love to see a few nervous, crying children go round on it while encouraging parents shout things like "NO! STAY IN THE CAR! DO NOT GET OUT!" Sweet.

Kids Water Ride - EXTREME!
We I was young, playgrounds had concrete bases and cast iron swings, and they never did us any harm, apart from multiple fractures and bleeding(internal and external)

Water ride EXTREME
I'd love to see a few nervous, crying children on this, wouldn't everyone?

Browsing for Al Ain Zoo info
I have friends Jim and Salva Kerr whose cat Ted is nearing retirement, I wonder if I can bring one of those kittens above for them. Thanks for posting these photos Alan.

I was looking up El Ain Zoo to find out how it has since I last saw a presentation on it. Great pictures. Wish there were more.
