Ras Al Khor is a protected wetland where the Creek meets the desert, surrounded by the city’s highways and towers. Bird hides look out over the lagoons, where greater flamingos and many other species feed, especially in the cooler months. Entry to the hides is free; bring binoculars if you have them.
