Qatar Zoo

A zoo within a Park was the guiding principle behind this 75-hectare zoological marvel intended to engage, entertain, and enlighten first time and repeat visitors alike. Thus, the animal habitats were created to complement the adjacent Aspire Park via a guest and Elephant Bridge that will create the spectacular sight of African Elephants crossing over of one Doha’s major highways. The Zoo is divided into habitat zones representing three continents: African Savanna, Asian Montane, and South American Rainforest; each area featuring indigenous flora. The Rainforest habitat is achieved by a unique creation of a BioDome roof system that will allow it to rain once an hour in the desert. A public park surrounds the site with integrated pedestrian and bike paths that have strategically placed views into the zoo.
