    Definitely not the first for the UAE. In fact Al Ain has held African Elephants before. They brought in mahouts from India to care for them.
    I recollect seeing an elephant walking along the Al Ain to Dubai road. I have no idea where that came from or went.

    They don't get mentioned in the article you give a link for but have had several mentions in other papers during the past couple of weeks. Best Wishes.
