Riyadh Zoo
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Visit right when gates open at 9am on weekdays to avoid crowds and the midday heat. October through March offers the most pleasant weather for outdoor strolling.
Conseils budget
Entry is roughly 10-15 SAR per person, making it one of the more affordable family outings in the city. Bring your own snacks and water since on-site food options are limited and priced higher than outside.

À propos
Faits rapides: Abritant plus de 1 500 animaux du monde entier, le zoo s'étend sur 161 000 mètres carrés de terrain. Plus de 40 espèces d'oiseaux, de reptiles et de mammifères parcourent les lieux, notamment des loups arabes et le rare oryx d'Arabie.
Points forts: Le zoo participe à un programme régional de reproduction du léopard d'Arabie gravement menacé, avec un enclos spécialisé qui imite leur habitat montagneux. Les visiteurs peuvent observer les soigneurs effectuer des séances d'entraînement avec les grands félins à 10 heures, une expérience contrôlée et éducative qui révèle leurs comportements naturels de près.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a hat, shaded pathways are limited in certain sections of the zoo.
- Arrive by 9am on weekdays to see the animals most active during feeding times (usually 9:30-10:30am).
- The walk-through aviary near the entrance is easy to miss but offers close encounters with native birds.
- Skip the small on-site train ride, it covers the same ground you can walk in 15 minutes.
