This website is dedicated to birders visiting the UAE, aiming to provide as much up-to-date information as possible. It was created in late October 2005 and is updated on a weekly basis.

Since the number of resident, active birders in the UAE is very low, it is imperative that ALL records from visiting birders are submitted. If you found any useful info on this website, please give something back by sending us your records. Old records also welcome.

Please click on the button SUBMITTING RECORDS  to find out how this can be done.
