KALBA

An ecotourism paradise awaits at Kalba, one of the UAE’s most sought-after tourist destinations and one of the best places to explore in Sharjah. Also known as the UAE’s most popular wildlife sanctuary, Kalba ranks among the oldest mangrove forests of Arabia and is home to numerous rare animal and plant species.
