Excellent place to get a first hand experience on the native wild animal species of the UAE. There may be bigger zoos at other places but a conservatory focused on the local species, showcasing animals in their natural habitat is an altogether different experience. The place is a treasure chest of knowledge about all those animals. t's a must go place for kids and adults. The ticket is only AED 15 and the kids go for free. People who are coming from other emirates can club the visit to this place along with the Kalba bird of prey centre nearby. It is better to visit bird of prey centre and watch the bird show in winter but Hefaiyah conservatory is air conditioned and one can watch the animals staying indoors itself. There is a free caddie car ride also inside the premises. The species showcased includes Arabian leopards, hyenas, foxes, wild cats, mongoose, snakes, fishes, frogs , Caracals, gazelles, hedgehogs, owls etc. There is spacious cafeteria attached to the conservatory and one can have tea, coffee, snacks etc. there watching the deers and gazelles!

Sincerely thank the Ruler of Sharjah for providing such a great...

A hidden gem for nature and wildlife lovers! 🌿🦌 Al Hefaiyah Mountain Conservation Centre offers an immersive experience with over 30 species native to the mountain and desert habitats. 🏜️ The facility is well-maintained, and the enclosures are spacious, allowing the animals to thrive in a near-natural environment.

The indoor exhibits are fascinating, featuring snakes 🐍, lizards 🦎, hedgehogs 🦔, and scorpions 🦂, while the outdoor enclosures house incredible species like the Arabian leopard 🐆, wolf 🐺, tahr, and caracal. The guided tour is highly recommended, especially for families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, as the guides are knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. If visiting in a group, the golf cart option 🚗 makes exploring the area easier.

Beyond the wildlife, the surrounding landscape is stunning, offering a peaceful retreat into nature. 🌄 Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast or just looking for a unique experience in Sharjah, this place is a must-visit. ✅ Highly...

Al Hefaiyah Mountain Conservation Center is home to various species of animals, native to the local mountains and deserts. It is spread over 12 sq. km. with an indoor and outdoor exhibits. The Environment and Protected Areas Authority (EPAA) is in charge of the conservation initiative — which demonstrates the UAE’s dedication to protecting endangered species. The park houses a critically endangered Arabian leopard and striped hyena. The latter was last sighted in the UAE in 2002. Other endangered species at the centre include wolves, tahr and a desert lynx. The animals live in large landscaped enclosures that mimic their natural habitat giving visitors a chance to see them in their environment. There is also an indoor park with smaller animals, such as hedgehogs, lizards, snakes and large scorpions. The reserve offers an exciting experience for nature enthusiasts and children.
