Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary
In the wetlands, just metres away from the bustling city of Dubai, the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is home to tens of thousands of birds in a spot so close to the city. The expansive reserve serves as a breeding ground each year for crustaceans, mammals and fish, but it is the flamingos that steal the show in winter, alongside grey herons, great egrets, reef herons, cormorants, black-winged stilts, sandpipers, osprey and more.
Ras Al Khor is closely monitored and protected by Dubai Municipality and fenced off to safeguard the area, though three bird hides are located on the perimeter of the sanctuary, allowing visitors to admire the birds in their habitat while maintaining the quality of the area for its winged residents. The wetland features salt flats, intertidal mudflats, mangroves and lagoons used as nests and habitats.
