A paradise for bird lovers in Dubai

Ras Al khor Wildlife Sanctuary Dubai
In the wetlands, just metres away from the bustling city of Dubai, you’ll find the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. It’s hard to believe you can find tens of thousands of birds in a spot so close to the city. This wetland reserve spanning 6.2sqm also serves as a breeding ground each year for crustaceans, mammals and fish, but it is the flamingos that steal the show in winter.  Look closer among the mass of pink feathers and you might spot grey herons, great egrets, reef herons, cormorants, black-winged stilts, sandpipers, osprey and more colourful species of birds.

Sunset Beach in Dubai
Sunset Beach, also known as Umm Suqeim beach, is the perfect spot to relax with the sun, sand and Burj Al Arab in the background. One of the quieter spots along the coast, it is a beautiful area for morning jogs and strolls and watching the sun set across the Arabian Gulf. The calm beach is a great place for a nap in the sun or to catch up on some reading – there's even a handy library station for donating or borrowing books.
