Desert Lakes - UAE Al Ain

Greetings..

This is one of our trips for this weekend. , we went to a place here in Al Ain which is common for some birds to be seen over there, The place does not have a name yet ..as it is temporary but we called it the Treatment Plant Lake.

Lots of water on the desert and making the view is so wonderful , specially with the sand dunes , Jabel Hafit in the back and the plantation.

we went there to see a kind of birds which they is thousands of them , just coming for drinking water, I was hoping to see some big birds like Heron etc etc ..but the dont come over there as there is no fish on the water like Zakher pool.

Thanks for those who helped me in the information and thanks for the ENHG for taking us to this place.

Enjoy the pictures :)

Dear Amer, you are a true artist. These photos are stunning! They give a fresh perspective on desert that we so often dismiss as we travel past it. Would love an opportunity to take my sketching/painting group here. Can you please give me directions to reach it?

Best wishes,
Marion Davidson
