Sir Bani Yas Island: Explore UAE’s largest natural island and Arabian Wildlife Park with Anantara

Sir Bani Yas Island was originally established as a Royal Nature Reserve in 1971 by the late ruler and founder of the United Arab Emirates, His Highness Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Aiming to ensure the survival of Arabia’s endangered species, he developed a conservation programme that focused on the breeding and relocating of these endangered species. Successfully putting late Sheikh Zayed’s vision into practice until today, Sir Bani Yas Island is now home to over 11,000 animals from 30 different species, many of which the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies as critically endangered or vulnerable to the wild, including sand gazelles, blackbuck antelope, urial sheep, barbary sheep and the Arabian oryx. Sir Bani Yas Island plays a significant role in protecting these animals for future generations
