Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, Dubai
Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary (Arabic: رَأْس ٱلْخَوْر) is a wetland reserve in Dubai, renowned for attracting large numbers of migratory birds. It is also home to a large population of crustaceans, small mammals, and fish.
Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary represents an enclave of relative wilderness amidst traffic and sprawling urban infrastructure. Located just as the name in Arabic suggests, the Cape of the Creek is among the few urban protected areas of the world. Ras Al Khor is also home to about 470 species of fauna and 47 kinds of flora. Greater flamingoes (Phoenicopterus roseus), are one of the main attractions of the preserve.
