The zoo is rather nicely themed, especially this limestone cave
It's a Bedouin-style Arabic camp, like a desert oasis in the middle of nowhere!
Looking out through the main doors into the courtyard
feast your eyes on these!
The displays end with a hall
Tranquility at it's best
between each pillar structure sits a rather neat looking stained glass flower
A resonable crowd, but otherwise quiet on most stretches on a hot noon day
and is home to few nice gardens too
Diggin the desert sunsets
Iconic tent-thingie included!
Ahem, Sawfish?
Niffy Arabian theming by the bay side
Rawr human! feed me!
Bobble bobble bobble
and tiny tents...
archaeological specimens on display
More pots to keep you all pottery
Sun bathing lazy bums... :p
Is that a mini desert I see?
We came over that hill, but it looked so different from here
O rly?
Not everyday where you get a desert by your butt
Arghh why so many Yachts?
Roaches
The place is nicely carpeted
I don't see any gecko here
mmm squeaky clean!
The Ablution central drinking fountain
A Squatiniforme or angel shark I reckon?
suspension bridge!
Digging the Eastern Corniche road
Stepping into the inner areas of the mosque
Bonfire setup
Back at our hotel in no time! That's all for our Abu Dhabi trip!
Stag bettles
Various constrictors in enclosures
Aha!
The view of the mall atrium
Says the simley too!
It's not easy being a fish here. :p
will tned to induce subliminal Prince of Persia climbing urges
A side effect of being in the sun for too long
not to mention niffy energetic catfishes
Which uses gravity to pull items on land
An aerial view from our vantage knoll
Love the calmness of the Corniche
It's essentially an aquarium and mini zoo right in the mall
oh look an oilrig. *kaching* :P
All encased with rather thick plastic panels
