Travel Guide Al Mirfa

In the face of the waters of the Khor Al Bizm, 25 km flying cormorants on the island of Marawah, integrated into the biosphere reserve of the Marawah island, Mirfa exists first by and for the Désalinisation désalinisation plant in the west. " The Al-Ain and Liwa regions were better supplied in freshwater. In Abu Dhabi, remember Mohammed Al-Fahim, the brackish water that one drank and used for cooking and washing came either from the surface well dug in the house of the house or from deeper community wells, located close to the village. Water, although filtered by sand and less salty than seawater, remained no less than seawater, and was neither as clean nor as clean as fresh water today. However, people had to be satisfied because there was nothing else. In fact, residents of Abu Dhabi consumed the brackish water of their wells until the first desalination plant was put into operation in 1961. " You will find in Mirfa all modern amenities and essential shops. A fishing and recreational harbour is located next to the petrol station, not far from the beautiful public beach. It's on this ribbon of sand that in late April, installent fans and other Worshippers worshippers engaged in the Watersports Festival of the country. The space of one week, the town is animated in front of this Californian show, and then everything stops until the year after. Although it is not possible to get there very easily, we will consider the historical density of nearby Marawah. This pile of sand 12 km in 2 had a human occupation in Jebel Bal Sharayis from the Neolithic (5500 BC). The excavations allowed the update of the skeleton of a man in foetal position, surrounded by pottery fragments of the Obeid era. Another site revealed the location of an Assyrian church. A member of the UNESCO global network since 2007, supervised by the Abu Dhabi Agency for the Environment (www.ead.ae), Marawah covers 120 km of coastline, including several types of habitats of regional or national significance, including beds, coral reefs, micro-algae and natural mangrove mangrove. This biosphere is also valuable because it is home to marine cow: this is the second highest concentration in the world of this dugong whose scream is the barbarouffement! The island still hosts "nested" marine turtles (only spongivore reptile!) and "green" that know how to find, as part of their between, the calm for spawning, as well as 5% of the world's Mondiale cormorant population (those who swim in oil during the first Gulf war bombing). The reserve still houses the island of Bu Tinah known for being proposed for the classification of «seven new wonders of the world» by the Emirati authorities.
