The chances of hitting or getting attacked by an animal in the Emirates are rare. However, when travelling on the major highways in the UAE<\/a>, you may encounter wildlife that can potentially cause accidents involving animals.

Camels, Gazelle and Arabian wolves often cross high-speed highways that can cause accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
