Khor Kalba Conservation Reserve

We went here today by following this route. We ended up reaching in front of the military camp which is a restricted area. Please don't follow this route.

A must visit place for kids and adults alike. A lot to understand from the Mangrove ecosystem. The information is well laid out. The walk through the Mangrove is definitely the highlight. The aviary are innovative. Sunset views was superb. Saw turtles and coral reef fish in their natural habitat. Beautiful.

the place is very nice but the google maps shoes another way which leads to the oman border. better to take the kalba lake park route and round about you can find lake park

The Mangrove center has been very recently opened. It’s striking beautiful architectonically speaking. It’s incredibly original, designed by Hopkins Architects. It’s an educational center aimed to protect species and increase environmental awarenes. The exhibitions are fabulous, very educative, incredibly informative and entertaining.

The facility contains seven interconnected pods and some timber structures form a beautiful complex that allows to discover the diversity and richness of the area. Facilities include aquaria, exhibition areas, visitor amenities, staff offices, veterinary facilities, classrooms, gift shops, and a café. A series of trails and facilities encourage visitors to discover the local species, including all inhabitants of the mangroves, from crabs, to turtles, stingrays, gazelles and the rare Arabian Collard Kingfisher. There’s a whole world “down there”, above and below the surface.

Good experience. Nice place to spend the evening with your family.

Nice place to spend Sunday evening, maybe rent a boat and roam around the lake.

I love this place. It connects you to the nature. There's a showroom for the biodiversity in khor Kalba. There's chalet but requires booking before coming. You must visit.
