After the opening of Dubai Safari, the emirate has launched a new desert conservation reserve that spans 10% of Dubai’s area.
Dubbed the Marmoon Reserve project, the unfenced desert reserve is home to 19 endangered species, as well as more than 360 native and migratory bird species, 26 reptile species, nine mammal species and 39 species of plants. It will also have 10 kilometers of lakes, including Al Qudra Lakes, and will encompass Saruq Al Hadid, an archaeological site dating back over 3,000 years ago.
