Ras Al Khor, Protected wetland sanctuary in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The sanctuary encompasses 6.2 square kilometers of salt flats, mangroves, mudflats, and lagoons connected to Dubai Creek within an urban environment.
The Dubai Municipality established this protected area in 1985 and officially designated it as a wildlife sanctuary on March 1, 1998.
The sanctuary functions as an educational center where visitors learn about conservation methods and observe the natural behaviors of resident species.
Three observation hides along the perimeter provide visitors with clear views of flamingos and other water birds from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM in winter.
The sanctuary maintains 450 species of fauna and 47 types of flora while being completely surrounded by Dubai's metropolitan infrastructure.
