Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is a tidal saline lagoon which at 25°18'53.54"N, 55°32'02.47"E is within the urban sprawl of Dubai and bordered by main roads. There are three poorly designed hides although one is permanently closed (they are closed Fridays but all are equipped with Leica scopes and bins. You wouldn't find that in England!)
