7.2 Site - Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary
Community Integration
Score : 5/5
Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary (RAKWS) is fully integrated within
the metropolitan area of the city. It is centrally surrounded by
Ras Al Khor Industrial Area 1 to the South-East, Nad Al Sheba 1
to the South, Dubai Design District in the West, and Bur Dubai
area across the Dubai Creek in the North. It’s location in the city
center is the reason it is surrounded by multiple landmarks. The
types of buildings surrounding the wetland are a mix of commercial
and residential projects. The complete integration of
the site within the central region of the city, makes it accessible
by public and private transportation.
