Migratory Birds of the UAE & Lebanon

Bird migration connects continents, habitats and seasons. The United Arab Emirates and Lebanon occupy important positions along migration routes linking Europe, Asia and Africa, allowing an extraordinary diversity of birds to pass through, stop, winter or continue their journeys each year.

This photographic collection documents migratory birds encountered in both countries—from raptors and passerines crossing Lebanon to waders, seabirds and rare visitors recorded across the UAE. Together, these photographs document not only individual species, but the remarkable movement of wildlife across landscapes and international borders.
