 | | One of the largest of the UAE's offshore islands, Sir Bani Yas is in the west of the UAE, a few kilometres offshore. |
 | | Oval-shaped, and roughly 11 kilometres north–south and 8.5 kilometres east–west, Sir Bani Yas is a diapiric salt dome, formed by the pushing up of Cambrian sediments, over 600 million years old, from deep beneath the earth's surface. |
 | | Sir Bani Yas, which has been described as 'An Arabian Ark,' now houses one of the largest collections anywhere in the Middle East of endangered large herbivores. |
