Does anyone know here when will Doha Zoo open? We went there 3 weeks ago and unfornately it was close for maintenance. But I heard that it was close since Eid 2012.. Just wondering if when will it open again for public viewing..

it will take 2 and a half more years to open./ as they are planning to make it more good and import different family's animals.

That's a great news for converting it to a typical safari- like park! But the bad news is, it will take a couple of years before it will open again. Improvement works has yet started when we visited there weeks ago..

a renovation there. The place was seriously run-down and unfit for any animals. Hopefully they will get it right and make proper habitats for the animals instead of the awfully small cages they had before. Hope they also raise awareness toward animal treatment--- ie. ban the practice of letting children harass, improperly feed, and hit the animals.
