We never knew that Abu Dhabi had such a beautiful zoo. During a trip here, I was in search of a place where my family and I could spend some time, and thanks to Thrillophilia, we found out about the Al Ain Zoo. They were offering a combo package that time, and as someone with children, this was a great place to visit. We saw so many different animals, like the Arabian Oryx, Rhinoceros, Hippos and more, and also went to the Sheikh Zayed Desert Learning Centre to see many exhibits. The package was quite affordable and the entire process was easy. The Thrillophilia team really did a great job.
