This is the only zoo in Oman. The place near bark. Spacious parking facility. The price of one person is 2.000 OMR. There were glasses of snakes, rugs, and so on. In each of the nests the animals of different species of birds, woodpeckers, foxes, rabbits, giant cats and wild dogs are different. There are plenty of places to shop and small shops. The best way to spend a family dinner. There are various kinds of birds, ducks, poultry, ostrich, chicken and duck, monkey and other species. Here is the king of the desert camel and the king of the forest lion. Here we see most creatures such as horse, tiger and donkey. Accommodation is also available. 30 Rial is rented for 1 day. Suite rooms and deluxe rooms.

There is a stupidity because animals are not well maintained. Every place is shrouded in clutter. There are no board boards on the way without Google map facility.
However, it is one of the most visited...

Low rating purely for the lack of care of the animals, only reason for the 2 star is 1 star for the zoo and another star for the animals inside the zoo. Pay attention to the animals, zoo is suppose to teach our kids caring for the ones who are unable to care for themselves, not show young kids negligence and parents end up facing awkward questions like "why does the camel look sick" & "why are the birds...
