UNESCO Names Wadi Al Wuraya a World Heritage Site
The Wadi Al Wuraya National Protected Area in Fujairah has been listed on UNESCO's World Heritage Site list, making it the first natural site in the UAE to be included on this list, and the third overall after Al Ain and Jebel Fayah. This designation aims to recognize the area's exceptional environmental and geological value and to enhance the UAE's position as a sustainable tourism destination. The protected area is located in the Hajar Mountains along the eastern coast of Fujairah and is home to more than 1,099 species of living organisms, including rare species such as the Arabian desert lynx and leopard cat. It serves as a unique model for the sustainability of water systems in an arid desert environment. This achievement marks an important step in preserving the UAE's natural heritage and opens new avenues for international cooperation in biodiversity and climate change efforts.
