Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary (Arabic: رَأْس ٱلْخَوْر, romanized: Raʾs al-Khawr) is a wetland reserve in Dubai, renowned for attracting large numbers of migratory birds.

Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary represents an enclave of relative wilderness amidst traffic and sprawling urban infrastructure.

[5] The Dubai Municipality has taken great efforts to protect and preserve the biodiversity of this delicate ecosystem.

The bird hides are a first step towards the development of more elaborate visitor education facilities in the protected area.

[citation needed] There are three birding hides located on the perimeter of the sanctuary open to the public.
