The Tourism Development and Investment Company (TDIC) recently announced that four new lodges, equestrian and diving centres and a children’s campsite will be built in the second phase of development on Sir Bani Yas island. A total of 190 hotel rooms are planned for these four new lodges, with final completion expected in 2011.

The development of the island is being done slowly to preserve its ecosystem. Sir Bani Yas is home to thousands of animals including Arabian oryx, giraffes, gazelles and cheetahs. Its breeding programme has so far resulted in more than 10,000 animals being released into the wild in the Liwa oasis and near Al Ain since September last year.
