Mangrove Marine National Park

This guide to Mangrove Marine National Park paddles you through tidal channels holding roughly seventy five percent of the mangrove forest in the UAE, just behind Abu Dhabi's skyline. It follows what a two-hour kayak or paddleboard tour turns up along the way: crabs skittering off exposed roots, herons frozen mid-step, flamingos wading in the shallows, and locals' claims that dolphins still feed among the roots. Go quietly, and see what surfaces beside you.
