After the excitement of this unconventional birding site the next place was somewhat more conventional birding site of Al Khor, a wildlife refuge which sits incongruously as a patch of mud and mangroves with the tall spires of Dubai as a backdrop. From Quarm we turned east to the mountains that stood between us and the Gulf of Oman. Following on from my recent description of a brief visit to Kuala Lumpur , my return trip from Britain gave me 26hours in Dubai.
