Dubai is a city that tries hard to strike a balance between the urban environment and its wildlife, and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the many proofs.
Opposite the Ras Al Khor Industrial Area, along Oud Metha Road, is a wetland that is regularly visited by migratory birds. While the sanctuary supports a number of species hidden in the mangroves and mudflats, it is the pink flamingos that offer the most obvious attraction.
A visit to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife sanctuary is for free, and one would only have to bring that innate love for nature and a camera.
It is open from 9AM to 4PM everyday except on Fridays.
