JEDDAH — Work has started to clear the Beautiful Creatures zoo in Jeddah two months after it closed, a local newspaper reported. The zoo is to make way for the Al-Haramain high speed train project, which runs parallel to the Al-Haramain Expressway, heading toward Al-Naseem train station in the Old Airport area. The municipality had earlier received many complaints from residents living in the area about bad smell and dengue-carrying mosquitos from the zoo. Residents have been calling for the removal or relocation of the zoo for more than three years. Some, however, questioned why the zoo was removed altogether and not relocated, as they saw it as an important part of the city.
