Abu Dhabi’s Mangrove Walk at Jubail Mangrove Park is now open to the public and it’s quickly become one of the most popular attractions in the city.
The new attraction on Jubail Island, located between Saadiyat Island and Yas Island and can be accessed coming from Yas Island or Dubai or the other direction from downtown Abu Dhabi and Saadiyat Island.
The walkway is open daily from 8am to 6.30pm. It’s free of charge and will allow you to take a stroll through the mangroves, explore the natural landscape and go wildlife spotting.
Before you visit, it’s worth noting that a maximum holding capacity is in place at the attraction.
If visitor numbers exceed the maximum number you will have to wait for some visitors to leave before being permitted entry into the walkway.
There are three pathways to walk, the longest covers a distance of 2km and the shortest is 1km.
A floating platform with netting is also on site where you can take a look at the marine life underwater.
In addition rangers are on site around the park to answer questions you have about the local environment and wildlife.
An information centre and viewing platform (for those perfect pictures) is also at the site.
