The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is largely an arid land with vast sand deserts, but is also characterized by sand dunes, oases, rock mountains, valleys, marshes and mangroves and salt plains. Within the rock mountains exists villages with beautiful scenery and wildlife. One of the most beautiful spots in the UAE is Hatta. It is the mountainous region of Dubai City and is famous as the getaway location to enjoy outdoor activities away from the city. Swan Lake which is located in Hatta, not too far away from Hatta town, is still surrounded by mountains which makes it a great place to enjoy the scenery with the ducks in the lake. Occasionally, you can spot local wildlife species in this area which makes it great to observe them and photograph them. Here I share a collection of some bird photography I did while I visited the Swan lake on a leisure trip with my family.
