The new audio tours section on the Zoo’s website will take browsers on a trip down memory lane to the past, or give them look onto the present and imagined future.

Al-Ain Zoo in Abu Dhabi, in a new digital move, has launched a new experience for the website visitors of the zoo. The Zoo has launched three unique audio tours that take them on a fascinating journey through the Sheikh Zayed Desert Learning Centre.

Through the popular ‘Our Heritage, Our Identity’, ‘Zayed’s Footsteps’, and ‘Art of Architecture’ tours will have a dynamic experience with the launch of the audio facility.

The new audio tours section on the Zoo’s website will take browsers on a trip down memory lane to the past, or give them a look at the present and imagined future.

The audio tour also allows the sharing of tours with friends and family whilst giving them the ability to listen to the tour information while touring the centre itself, without having to accompany a tour guide.

Speaking on the launch, Muneera Jasem Al Housani, Director Sheikh Zayed Desert Learning Centre at Al Ain Zoo, shared, “We are keen to provide our visitors with constantly renewed and upgraded experiences, meeting the expectations of our visitors and offering them a wide array of services, while committing ourselves to COVID-19 safety procedures and applying social distancing by making our audio tours available via our website.”

All three audio tours have been made available on the website, which is executed entirely by the talents and creativity of the Zoo staff.

The ‘Art of Architecture’ tour takes visitors on an audio journey to learn about architectural art in its finest form and the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s dream of a global sustainable masterpiece embodied by the building of the award-winning Sheikh Zayed Desert Learning Centre itself.

The ‘Our Heritage, Our Identity’ tour takes you through the vivid history and interesting heritage of the UAE and the values instilled by Sheikh Zayed, the nation’s founding father.

The third one ‘Zayed’s Footsteps’ throws light on the life of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan, and what life used to be like in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi through five memorable exhibits— the Sheikh Zayed Tribute Hall, Abu Dhabi Desert Over Time, Abu Dhabi Living World, People of the Desert and Looking to the Future.
