Eastern Mangroves

    Adhering to the Abu Dhabi Environment Agency’s values, our nature-immersive design for the Eastern Mangroves has a light touch approach, sensitively increasing ecotourism and allowing people to be immersed in but not damage the environment.

    Provision for kayaking and a boardwalk through the mangroves allows visitors to engage with this special habitat, and a visitor centre provides educational opportunities and information on why the mangroves are so unique and crucial to protect.

    Al Ittihad Park

    Al Ittihad Park lies below the Monorail along the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah, nestled between residential communities.

    The park is a haven of tranquility and calm, connecting two previously separated halves of the trunk. Using mainly native plants, a natural xeriscape defines a regional sense of place and strong park identity.

     

    Actively encouraging exploration, children can engage in natural play whilst fitness trails support an active lifestyle. Cafe spill out takes advantage of the serene views, contributing to the social life of the neighbourhood.
