Spot Flamingoes in Umm Al Quwain

The least populated emirate in the UAE, Umm Al Quwain attracts travellers with its natural scenery and rustic character. It has a wealth of protected coastal wetlands, mangroves, and mud flats that act as breeding and nesting grounds for a number of migratory and endemic birds. Al Sinniyah, the largest of its islands, is the most sought-after destination for birdwatching. Viator (viator.com) offers regular tours to the island, where you can find antelopes between mangroves, flamingoes flocking on sandy flats, and the endangered Socotra cormorant. November to March is the ideal time to plan this trip. ahd.uaq.ae
