What national parks are near Dubai?
Despite its urban appearance, Dubai is surrounded by amazing natural landscapes. The Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve is a protected area where you can see Arabian Oryx, desert foxes, and a variety of birds. I went on a safari through the reserve and was amazed by the beauty of the golden dunes and the silence of the desert. Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is a wetland reserve located right in the city. It is home to pink flamingos, herons, and other water birds. Special observation platforms allow you to watch the birds without disturbing their peace.

Today, the city is a major transportation hub, with one of the busiest airports in the world and the largest port in the region.

You can exchange currency at the airport, banks, exchange offices and shopping malls. I have noticed that exchange rates in the city are often more profitable than at the airport or hotels. ATMs are ubiquitous, and you can withdraw cash from international cards, but pay attention to the possible fees of your bank.
