Along the sprawling boardwalks that meander through the mangroves, you can catch glimpses of the park’s inhabitants like turtles, herons, and gazelles. Even though the city of Abu Dhabi is just 30 minutes away, you’ll feel like you’re in a whole new world. The landscape on Jubail Island is dramatic, especially in the park, where the lush Abu Dhabi mangrove forests separate the sea and shore. Birdwatchers, nature lovers, and photographers will be in their element here.
