Green Planet 

Green Planet in Dubai is home to flora and fauna rich in biodiversity in their natural habitat. Although the place is human made, it has well preserved natural essence to it because of the flourishing plants and wildlife inside. Green Planet is located near Dubai Creek, so you can also take an abra ride and enjoy the vintage feeling after your visit to Green Planet. Inside Green Planet, you can see and interact with a wide variety of animal and bird species including snakes. Although safety precautions are taken care of, visitors must always maintain a safe distance from the animals in the Green Planet. 

Hatta Wadi

Not very far from Dubai is the Hatta mountains. The Hatta Wadi is known for its turquoise water pool between the rocky mountains. There are various activities one can do at Hatta. Some of the activities are kayaking, paddle boarding and boating. On the rocky terrains of the Hatta mountains, people go for trekking as an adventure activity. Hatta is only an hour’s drive from Dubai and thus tourists visiting Dubai can easily spare some time to visit this natural beauty. 

Umm Al Quwain Wetlands
