Dubbed the Marmoon Reserve project, the unfenced desert reserve is home to 19 endangered species, as well as more than 360 native and migratory bird species, 26 reptile species, nine mammal species and 39 species of plants. It will also have 10 kilometers of lakes, including Al Qudra Lakes, and will encompass Saruq Al Hadid, an archaeological site dating back over 3,000 years ago.
It will include observation decks, yoga areas, an outdoor theater and cycling tracks, and will be powered using solar energy. By 2030, it will also be used to host more than 20 annual sporting, cultural and environmental events.
The project was launched by Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum on Tuesday, January 17, 2018.
