It represents the values we stand for – Integration, Balance, Diversity, Institutional Character, and International Spirit.

A tourism and scientific project

The Sharjah Safari logo reflects the uniqueness of the project, by employing geometric lines to form an image that can be viewed as a mixture of animals and plants, which distinguishes the safari, whose design was inspired by the African environment with its animals and plants, to be a tourism and scientific project for the multiplication of animals that are on the verge of extinction, in addition to the resettlement of rhinos, giraffes, gazelles and birds.
