Jubail Mangrove Park
1 / 5
Jubail Mangrove Park - by Management
Description
The Jubail Mangrove Park is a mangrove sanctuary located on Al Jubail Island in Abu Dhabi. Visitors can enjoy a ~2km boardwalk to discover the marine and bird species of the local ecosystem and learn more about the mangrove role in supporting the emirate's biodiversity and protecting its coastline. The best time to visit is at high-tide and there is the option of booking a guided walk with a Ranger (different fee applies)
Access & Transport
The park is on the northern side of Al Jubail Island, between Al Saadiyat and Yas Island, and can easily be accessed by car using the E12 / Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed St. There is no public transport option
Instructions & Recommendations
All minors (<18yrs) must be accompanied by an adult at all times
Environmental & Social
Eco-friendly activity that preserves and educates visitors about the local ecosystems. Socially neutral
Conclusion
The Jubail Mangrove Park is an enjoyable option for those looking to discover another side of Abu Dhabi but it isn't a top-tier attraction by any stretch so we would recommend it for UAE residents or visitors with more than 3-4 days in the city. We would also expect such infrastructure to be made available to the public for free (which was the case until 2019 as per our understanding).
Key positive
One of the city's best preserved natural environments
Opportunity to learn more about the mangrove ecosystem
Key negative
Not much to see at low tide and hot during the day
Suitability
Suitable for all ages and the boardwalk are very even, making it accessible for visitors with reduced mobility.
