The background of the Dubai Zoo dates to the time when the late Ruler of Dubai, H. H. Sheikh Rashid bin Maktoum permitted Otto J Bulart to build the zoo on a two hectare plot in Al Jumeirah. The Dubai Zoo in the present day has become a landmark in the cosmopolitan city, since it is also sometimes indicated as the town's end. In the first couple of years of its establishment, the Dubai Zoo was home only to a few animals like the monkeys, big cats and several species of hoofed animals. There was also a small aquarium in the precincts with a variety of fish and reptiles.
In the year 1971, the management of the Dubai Zoo was taken over by the Dubai Municipality. A part of the zoo was redesigned between May 1986 and May 1989. Since June 1989, there has been constant renovation. The Dubai Zoo contributes immensely to Dubai Tourism since a number of travelers within the country as well as from overseas come here each year. The Dubai Zoo is located in the lush suburb of Jumeirah, in the greenest spot in the area sheltered by a variety of trees.
