当地设立了湿地游客中心，以继续保护自然环境，教育人们了解湿地生态系统的丰富程度，并提供有关经常光顾该地区的鸟类和酋长国其他湿地地区的信息。该设施成为鸟类观察者和研究人员的天堂。

A wetland visitor center is established on site to continue protecting the natural environment, educate people on the richness of the wetland ecosystem and provides information about the birds that frequent the area and other wetlands areas of the emirate. The facility became heaven for bird watchers and researchers.

该中心的建筑与其周围环境相融合，并利用现有的地形将对自然场景的视觉影响降至最低。当游客到达时，一条通道将他们引向地下的直线画廊。完全透明的墙壁让游客体验鸟类的自然环境，并成为其中的一部分。

The architecture of the center blends with its’ surroundings and uses the existing topography to minimize the visual impact on the natural scene. When visitors arrive, a pathway leads them underground into a linear Gallery. A fully transparent wall allows the visitors to experience the birds’ natural environment and become part of it.
