There is a wonderful site called UAE Birding , that makes a great reference once you have decided how much time you have to spare and it carries a list of part-time guides who may be able to show you around. For a comprehensive description of the park, go to UAE Birding. For a quick snapshot, try a winter post from Redgannet.
