We had our lunch at Hot and spicy restaurant near malabar gold diamond shop Al ain. We get South indian food here. As it was a very hot day we kept buying water bottles.

Later we checked in Ayla hotel where we prebooked our room.

Very nice and cleanly maintained hotel worth for money.Our room was very calm and quiet we refeshed ourselves and started to Al jimi Mall.

We roamed around mall. Later we had dinner at hot and spicy again and went back to our hotel room for night stay.

Day 2:

We got up early and got ready for kids favourite zoo trip. For a change we tried our breakfast in food world restaurant, later we reached al ain zoo.

Very hot day so we couldn't see any one around except us, after sometime we saw some families.

We walked n took some pictures, we were exhausted in the hot sun, so we went to al ain safari tour in a truck, there was a lady tour guide who gave us information about animals living there.

The truck stopped in important stops where we can go to the back of truck and take pictures and see animals closer.We got opportunity to feed carrots to Giraffe.We saw zeebras,rhino,oryx,deers, lions.

We expected many animals but only the above animals we were able to see. As it was very hot day we cannot enjoy much. We got to know some unknown facts about animals.

Next we saw aquarium, there we saw two hippos sleeping inside water, big chameleon which changed its colour,fishes n big pythons.

As it was extremely hot outside we were all very tired so we walked and reached sheik zayed learning centre as it was air conditioned inside. We stayed inside for 2 to 3 hrs, kids felt relaxed as we found a good shelter in the hot sun.We got lunch from food shops inside campus and ate in the space for resting at sheik zayed learning centre.

After 3 hours we started to see lion and tigers,it was still hot so many were in shelters,so we just walked n reached bird house, we saw parakeets and quails in a natural environment, n saw kids favourite penguins they were so cute to see.

We missed the parrot show as we not aware of show times. Also we all were very tired.So we engaged kids riding carts, later we enjoyed feeding budgies, kids were so excited to feed.

We watched birds of prey show,we saw big vultures, eagles and owls. We saw lions and tigers out of shelters as it was five in the evening.

We started back to our hotel as we didnt have energy to roam further. We found tough to get taxi from there as zoo was crowded in the evening.We ordered food using talabhat app (like swiggy in uae). The day went on.
