Beschrijving
Its a saline type of pond which sometimes turns a pink or reddish hue. It is a natural occurrence that happens occasionally due to the proliferation of a pigmented species of protozoan, an organism similar to algae in a water. In Dubai every place with open water attracts both people to have a walk, jogging or a picnic and several species of birds. At the pond you can spot typical waterbirds like Westelijke Rifreiger, Steltkluut and Aalscholver as well as urban birds like Huiskraai, Treurmaina and many others.

Toegang
The Mall of the Emirates is situated in the Al Barsha district, right along Sheikh Zayed Road, one of the city’s main highways. The pond is located closely to metro station Mall of the Emirates (1). So the most convenient way to get there is by using Dubai metro (Red Line). The walking route around the pond is about 1 km.
