Hi All.
We will be in Dubai-Abu Dhabi for a few days in May, Does anyone know of any birding sites within an hour or so by car, or in the city limits themselves?
Cheers

I did some birding around Dubai while on work trips in the late 1990s. This is a long time ago, given the rate of development around Dubai. Might be worth searching for current information on
* Saffa Park on the southern side of town * The inland end of Dubai Creek (Khor Dubai) has flamingos and other waders * Mushrif National Park – around 10 km past the airport * Jebel Ali hotel grounds
I also had a look through the mangroves along Khor Kalba, near Fujeira on the Gulf of Oman side of the UAE. Came within a whisker of bogging my hire car to the axles in mangrove mud while distracted by movement in the bushes ;-(
I used The Birds of the United Arab Emirates, by Colin Richardson, published in 1990 (so quite dated).
