Al Rams Mangrove, located in the northern part of Ras Al Khaimah, is a serene and ecologically rich birdwatching location. The tidal flats, mangrove forests, and calm coastal waters create an ideal habitat for a wide variety of bird species, especially during migration seasons. Here, birdwatchers can observe flocks of waders such as Greater Flamingos, Black-winged Stilts, and Eurasian Curlews, along with resident species like Western Reef Herons and Indian Pond Herons. The quiet environment and shallow waters also attract kingfishers, terns, and other coastal birds, offering excellent opportunities for photography and close observation. Whether you're exploring by foot or kayak, Al Rams Mangrove provides a peaceful and rewarding birding experience in the heart of nature.
During migration seasons, the area becomes particularly active, making it a rewarding spot for photographers and bird enthusiasts seeking close encounters with wildlife in a natural and relatively undisturbed setting.
