Flamingos are indigenous species of Abu Dhabi. If you are luckier, you can spot all six types of creatures (James's, lesser, greater, American, Chilean, and Andean). Although nomadic, the greater flamingos are native to Abu Dhabi. Arrange a visit to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary to spot thousands of flamingos from any of their bird-watching platforms. Take pictures of the bright pink colour ones which will make an incredible snap for your Instagram.
