The Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project (DTRP) is based at Burj Al Arab and Madinat Jumeirah and is run in collaboration with Dubai’s Wildlife Protection Office, with essential veterinary support provided by the Dubai Falcon Clinic and the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory. If you would like to visit the sanctuary, there is a holding pen next to the Wharf Restaurant, just before the entrance to the Mina A’Salam pool and beach and another between Al Muna and Zheng He’s restaurants. There are also scheduled feeding sessions on Wednesdays at 11am and Fridays at 1pm for a chance for you and the kids to feed the turtles yourselves – a really lovely and totally free activity! Jump on an Abra and head to Toscana for lunch afterwards.
