A Leading Environmental Landmark for Wildlife Protection
Mohammed bin Zayed Natural Reserve is a significant sanctuary in Bahrain and one of the Kingdom’s most prominent national environmental landmarks, dedicated to the protection and conservation of biodiversity. The reserve that has welcomed visitors since 1976 forms part of national efforts to safeguard endangered species, most notably the Bahraini Reem and the Arabian Oryx. Since its establishment as Al Areen Wildlife Park and Reserve, it has embraced a clear and enduring mission to protect, breed, and develop plant and animal life, particularly endangered species, by providing safe and sustainable natural habitats.
What to Expect
While one section of the reserve is accessible exclusively to specialists and researchers, the other is open to the public, offering visitors the opportunity to explore a diverse range of plant and animal species. Home to native plant species such as marakh trees and date palms, and a wide variety of wildlife including birds, mammals, and reptiles, the reserve provides an immersive and educational nature experience that fascinates both children and adults alike.
