Help in Turtle Rehabilitation in Dubai
The Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project (jumeirah. com) is a one-of-its-kind project in the Middle East. Run in collaboration with Dubai’s Wildlife Protection Office, it is based in Burj Al Arab Jumeirah and Madinat Jumeirah. The DTRP, working with the Jumeirah Group, rescues, rehabilitates, and treats sea turtles that are sick or injured. Since its inception in 2004, the project has overseen the release of over 560 sea turtles back into the waters around Dubai. Rescued turtles are often treated by the team at the Burj Al Arab Aquarium, and transferred to the Turtle Rehabilitation Sanctuary at Jumeirah Al Naseem, where you can meet and feed them, before they head back to sea. visitdubai.com
