The Kalba Bird of Prey Centre is perfect for an experience with falconry, the Al Hefaiyah Mountain Conservation Centre offers many trails to choose from for a scenic hike, and the Al Hafiya Picnic Park is a lush and beautiful setting to share a meal.
Inside the centre, you can see crabs, sea cucumbers, starfish, various crustaceans, sea urchins and more.
Outside, there are turtle pools with a few turtles. They are not kept in captivity but are checked and released back. Apart from the mangrove trail, there is an aviary and a kingfisher aviary and hides to watch birds. On the mangrove trail, look out for kingfisher nests in holes in the trees.
