Pink flamingos, mangroves, a protected water area... All this is just 30 minutes away from the bustling Dubai! Ajman boasts opportunities for a relaxing, exclusive oceanfront getaway and offers travelers a visit to the Al Zorah Natural Reserve.

The Al Zorah Natural Reserve is a vivid ecosystem of mangroves, turquoise lagoons, and sandy beaches, home to almost 60 bird species, including spectacular pink flamingos and herons.

The natural area is part of the Al Zorah community, a new resort complex along 12 kilometers of coastline and 1.6 kilometers of a sandy beach with an 18-hole golf field.

The water area of a wide tidal canal connecting the city with the Persian Gulf makes the reserve a water sports territory. The best way to explore the mangroves is by kayaking. Calm waters and a network of canals make this water area suitable even for beginning rowers.

The vast Al Zorah area, from landscaped gardens to natural dunes, beaches, and winding trails, is the perfect setting for many sports or active adventures. In addition to golf championships amid the mangroves and dunes, there are many options for diving, canoeing, and kitesurfing. Team sports such as basketball, football, and beach volleyball are also available on the coast near the protected area. Numerous trails are equipped for jogging, cycling, and calm walks.

Not only the adults will find a visit to the reserve pleasant and exciting. Children can also enjoy the natural environment and participate in various outdoor activities. There are also several well-equipped playgrounds for younger visitors.

Al Zorah is located north of the city of Ajman. The city is connected with Dubai by the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, which encircles Ajman from the southeast.
