Babylon Zoo (Completed)

The zoo is done! Welcome to Babylon Zoo! Opened in 2018, this zoo in Dubai was built as a monument to the great ancient Mesopotamian/Iranian city of Babylon. Founded as a small port on the Euphrates River over 4,000 years ago, it became a major city under the rule of King Hammurabi. It would become the capital of the Neo-Babylonian Empire during the 7th and 6th centuries BC. Come to this lush desert oasis to enjoy stunning Babylonian recreations such as Marduk Temple, Ishtar Gate and the Hanging Gardens (with over 7000 plants). An urban jungle inspired by Mesopotamian architecture, backdropped with vibrant gardens and many species, some that would have called the Middle East home 2500 years ago. Note: Complexity is around 88-90%.
