A stunning new mangrove forest has opened in Dubai Get back to nature… Sometimes it’s time to put the brakes on the fast-paced life and get back to nature. We know of a perfect place to do just that as a mangroves forest has now opened at the Jebel Ali Wildlife Sanctuary. According to Khaleej Times, The Mangrove Forest ‘will comprise coral reefs, mangroves, sea grass beds and a natural beach’. There will be 15km of mangroves in the area, plus 6km of wetlands. Naturally, it will attract lots of wildlife, from crabs and oysters to birds and even gazelles. There are plans to have 60 per cent of Dubai’s land under forest over the next few decades.
