Birds of Qatar

The Emirate of Qatar essentially consists of a peninsula on the east coast of Arabia in the Persian Gulf. The country is hilly and consists largely of barren gravel and boulder desert. The climate is hot all year round and very dry. The bird life is correspondingly sparse. There are only about 30 native bird species, most bird species that can be seen in Qatar are migratory, usually resting on the north coast. Umm Tais National Park is located on an uninhabited island off the northern tip of Qatar. The Al Wabra Wildlife Preserve is a unique facility that houses animals because of their great rarity. Among other things, two-thirds of the captive Spix's Macaws - extinct in the wild - live here. Al Wabra is owned by a Qatari Sheikh and is not open to the public.
