Located a short 30-minute drive from Dubai, Al Qudra Lakes are a series of man-made lakes in the Al Marmoom Reserve, offering a peaceful retreat away from city life and home to a variety of wildlife, including more than 170 species of birds. Like flamingos, swans, geese and others, along with oryx and desert foxes, visiting these lakes is one of the wonderful activities in Dubai, especially if you love nature and wildlife.
