Why escape from nature when you’re right there? From sunset hues to stark views of themangroves, there is plenty to appreciate at this Arabian-inspired getaway.

Imagine trees being able to protect the region against tidal surges, purify the surrounding water and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. That’s the essential role mangroves play in Mother Nature and why this area is significant to the city and the region. With stalks reaching up to 15 feet in height, the forest is home to a colourful community of crabs, turtles, herons, flamingos and fish living alongside

larger creatures like foxes, dugongs and dolphins - what a wonder the Earth is!

If bird-watching is your passion, charge your phones or cameras because there are over 60 bird species you could stumble upon. From the greater flamingos to western reef herons, these creatures tend to pop in and out depending on the season so capturing them through your lens is a sure delight.
