The Houbara Protected Area takes you back to a time when falconry was the sport of choice in the United Arab Emirates. Located in the Al Dafra region, it was the first reserve in Abu Dhabi were Houbara Bustards, a large terrestrial bird native to the Gulf region, were released. This reserve consists of an abundant plantation, coastal plains on well-drained sandy ground and gravel terrains.
The Houbara Protected Area offers endless options to indulge in research and development of the species, while taking in some precious nuances of Arab heritage.
