Al Wathba Tour In Abu Dhabi

The Al Wathba Wetland Reserve is the first location in Abu Dhabi to be given official legal protection. It was once a coastal salt flat (sabkha), but it has since developed into lakes, both natural and artificial, that support a variety of species unique to Abu Dhabi. The reserve became the first site in the area to be recognised when it was added to the IUCN Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas in 2018.

The reserve is well-known for having a sizable population of Greater Flamingos, which average 4,000 there in the spring and autumn. Additionally, it supports 37 plant species, a large variety of water life, and more than 250 bird species. Visitors to the Al Wathba Wetland Reserve can experience two self-guided walking routes and a bird-watching area.
