this project doesn't exist , hunting wild animals is prohibited in uae
you can get jailed for more than 6 months if they see you haunting a gazelle , even if they are not endangered
I did a quick Google search and other than some articles from 2013, there is no recent information about this place. I looked for a FB page and website but didn't come up with anything either. Hopefully that means it never materialized.
On a side note, that article is from 2013 - so it's been open for sometime.
Odd, it popped up as an article when I was looking at the cinema listings! Not sure why they'd be promoting it now ...
Oh...
I don't like the idea of this I must admit.
But if it stops people who would otherwise go to Africa or elsewhere from shooting endangered animals then I can just about see it.
I don't want to say I support it, and It might not do the above at all.
It won't stop people doing that, because none of the animals in this 'resort' are endangered.

From Time Out Dubai
"If you’re someone with a taste for hunting, then get your gear ready for the Barari Hunting Resort near Al Ain. You can hunt deer and gazelle and even some kinds of birds. The resort is expected to open this month and will be functional from September to April every year. All the necessary precautions and permissions are in place. It is an expensive proposition however, at around Dhs10,000 per night. But what you get is one of 15 ‘royal’ villas, with a private swimming pool, a Jacuzzi and sauna. Even if you don’t like hunting it sounds like an exciting place to stay!"
Is this what the UAE needs? A resort to hunt essentially caged animals?
