Al Wathba: This outer district of Abu Dhabi, is a great place for couples, families and friends to visit. The Wetland Reserve here is known for its large population of flamingoes, with as many as 4,000 living there in the winter. But many other bird, aquatic and plant species thrive on the site. Two walking trails allow trekkers to explore the area and bird-watch. You can also visit the fossil dunes, and the Al Wathba Salt Lake – located close to the dunes. The salt lake is a man-made lake, but the beautiful salt deposits were not intentionally created.
