Dubai: Dubai Safari and Dubai Frame leisure projects are on track, Dubai Municipality’s director-general said during a recent visit to the sites.
Hussain Lootah was flanked by senior officials during an inspection to see the progress of the major projects.
Last month, the municipality said the billion-dirham Dubai Safari project is 30 per cent complete and expected to open in the third quarter of 2016.
Lootah recently launched the zoo park’s solar-powered irrigation system that pumps 850 cubic metres of water per hour.
Dubai Safari is coming up in Al Warqaa area. A landfill for construction waste materials was levelled and cleaned for the site.
Apart from enclosure for animals, the park will also offer an open air safari-like ride for visitors.
Meanwhile, Dubai Frame, costing Dh160 million, is now 65 per cent complete and should open in the second half of this year.
The project, shaped like a giant window frame, is taking shape near Star Gate games and rides area of Zabeel Park.
Dubai Frame will allow panoramic views of Old Dubai areas from one side and New Dubai skyline from another.
