July 9th, 2009

Natural Beauty in Dubai

The United Arab Emirates is most famous for the majestic emirate of Dubai but when most people think of desert nation, they often forget the beauty of the land far before there were skyscrapers and entertainment centers.

Dubai enjoys an arid subtropical climate, with blue skies and sunshine all year round. It makes for the perfect weather to be outdoors and experience all that the Middle East has to offer. The hottest months are between June and September whereas the coolest time is between December and March. There is very little rainfall in Dubai, but when showers do fall it is mainly in the cooler months.

Birdwatchers Have a Rare Treat in the Region

 

For birdwatchers, Dubai has something really special to offer, a tidal wetland right in its backyard. The city skyline forms a beautiful backdrop for thousands of flamingoes, herons, ducks and shorebirds. The birds feed and rest on the mudflats on their migration between Asia and Africa. Within one hour from Dubai live some of the region’s rarest species that inhabits the deserts and mountains. Over 400 bird species have been seen in the United Arab Emirates and it is possible to find nearly 200 of them during a short stay in the country.
