Dubai is one of the most popular arabic city. And Dubai has so many entertainment places such as the zoo the circus and even more. But let me talk about the animal rights in Dubai.
Let me tell you about the rules first then i will go on and talk about what is shown and what other zoo type places there are.
In 2016, the UAE passed a law banning ownership of dangerous, wild or exotic animals except by licensed zoos, wildlife parks, circuses, breeding and research centres. The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) has issued executive regulations for a new federal law on animal welfare. … The law will make it a criminal offence to use animals in a way that “goes against their nature in art and entertainment performances, in pranks, or in staged animal fights …
The UAE is committed to protecting and managing the rich biodiversity of the state and prevent the extinction of threatened species. The creation of natural reserves intend to improve the environment and protect the wildlife in the country, in addition to the promotion of eco-tourism. UAE has outlawed the keeping of wild animals, like lions or tigers, as pets. For some in the oil-rich Gulf State, owning the likes of a cheetah is a status symbol, but they now risk jail or a fine.
Now about how the zoos and circuses are in Dubai…
The zoos:
Dubai has many zoos but all of them are kind of an open zoo. The animal “cages” are very big and open like inside you will see how the animals are comfortable in there . People are not allowed to feed them unless it’s their food. The cages are cleaned and the zoos provide everything that the animals need to be healthy and don’t feel themself trapped.
Some pictures from the zoo.
The Aquariums:
There are also a lot of aquariums and underwater zoos in UAE. One of the most popular aquariums i think is in Abu Dhabi. And its called National Aquarium Abu Dhabi has opened its doors to the public. … The aquarium is the first attraction to open in Al Qana, a new waterfront destination, and is the largest aquarium in the Middle East. It’s also home to 46,000 creatures and 300 species.

The circuses:
One of the most popular Circuses is La perle. The backstory of this show is about a young girl who falls into a dream-like state and travels through the UAE in search of a lost pearl. During her journey, she comes across people from completely different worlds and cultures. This circus has no animals in it its people based with different acts.
