Umm Tais National Park, National park on an uninhabited island in northern Qatar
The park encompasses sandy beaches, small islets, and mangrove forests that create a natural habitat for numerous migratory bird species.
Established in 2006 during the 15th Asian Games, the park contains the ruins of Al Mafjar village, which reflects Qatar's past settlements.
The protected area represents Qatar's commitment to environmental conservation while maintaining spaces for research and nature observation.
Located four miles from Ar Ru'ays town, the park provides designated areas for birdwatching, camping, and exploration of natural landscapes.
The combination of mangrove ecosystems, sand mounds, and salt marshes forms a distinct environment for local wildlife preservation.
