“Hatsu-Hinode” from the land of the rising sun, which refers to sunrise on January 1 which is regarded as something special and very gratifying. So watching the first sunrise of the year is amazing, which we did from Ras Al Khor Bird Sanctuary.
The Dubai Municipality has taken great efforts to protect and preserve the biodiversity of this delicate ecosystem. The wetland has been fenced off from the public and three birding hides have been built. Opportunities for experiencing a natural environment in this rapidly building-up emirate are so limited that the opening of Ras Al Khor to visitors is a boon to present and potential nature lovers.
There are three birding hides located on the perimeter of the sanctuary open to the public. Entrance is free and operates from 7:30am-5:30pm in the Winter and 6:00 am to 6:00 pm in the Summer. 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 for the preserve.
