Dubai Wildlife & Waterbird Sanctuary
Pretty pink flamingos flock to the inland end of the Dubai Creek during the winter months. Also known as Al-Khor Nature Reserve, this sanctuary has platforms that allow visitors to get a close-up view of the birds (with fantastically sharp binoculars) without disturbing them, and the juxtaposition of these elegant birds with the Dubai metropolis is dramatic. Kids love it, and it's a decent outside bet for a quirky date too.

Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary
Spy on Dubai's 3000-plus pink flamingo population, which flocks here during the winter months, from excellent viewing hides. Powerful binoculars can be borrowed to get a close-up of the birds without disturbing them. The juxtaposition of these elegant birds against the Dubai metropolis is amazing. Also known somewhat confusingly as Al-Khor Nature Reserve and the Dubai Creek Waterbird and Wildlife Sanctuary.
