    While you’re in Al Qudra, don’t forget to check out a lake in the shape of intertwined hearts, called the Love Lake.

    With just a few months left for the ‘World’s Greatest Show’, this is a great time to visit the Expo 2020 lake. Located just beyond the Expo site near the Al Maktoum Airport, you may get a bird’s eye view if you were flying out of Dubai's Al Maktoum International Airport.

    Plant Lake in Abu Dhabi
    The Instagram-worthy Plant Lake is reportedly located on the eastern side of Al Jubail Island, close to Zeera Island and across the water from Khor Laffan. This newly discovered lake was also appropriately named due to its unique shape, which in this case resembles a plant with its structure akin to a root and leaves.

    Pink lake in Ras Al Khaimah
    UAE university student Ammar Al Farsi first captured stunning photos of what he affectionately called the ‘Pink Lake’, which went viral on social networking sites. In an article published by the website howstuffworks.com, it explained that Halobacteria and the algae Dunaliella salina cause lakes to turn pink in colour, as they both which thrive in salty environments. The exact cause of this lake hasn’t been verified yet, but it’s worth a visit and a photography session. Image Credit: Twitter/ Courtesy: @ammar_alfarsii
