Al Zorah, Ajman now runs kayak tours through its mangroves

Ajman's Al Zorah launched kayak tours through its natural mangroves and lagoons in September.

The area has been officially declared as a Wetland of International Importance by the Ramsar Convention, and the tours will be conducted by ‘Quest for Adventure,’ an adventure sports company. 

Al Zorah Development Company CEO Imad Dana said in a statement: "With the Ramsar Convention placing Al Zorah on the global map to highlight its immense environmental value, we are offering visitors, including students, the opportunity to explore the natural mangroves and creek through the Kayak Tours. The tours will open doors to memorable experiences with the promise of sighting a range of native and migratory birds."

Open to the public including students through a guided schools programme, the tours will go through the mangroves of Al Zorah, which is home to over 102 species of native and migratory birds including the famed pink flamingoes that can be spotted throughout the year and during the nesting season. The area is abundant with a variety of corals, fish, molluscs and indigenous flora.
