The Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, DDCR, is a 225-square-kilometre (87 sq mi) natural reserve in the emirate of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It was established by Emiri decree on 9 January 2002 and comprises some 5% of the Emirate of Dubai's total landmass.[1]

It is home to the Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa. Now it has been became one of the most popular activity all across the world and been visited every season and been practiced [1] in Red Sand Dunes of Dubai by thousands of visitors came from all across the world.

The DDCR is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including the Arabian Oryx, which has been successfully reintroduced into the wild through dedicated conservation programs. Today, the reserve supports the largest free-roaming herd of Arabian Oryx in the UAE, along with other species such as Arabian gazelles, sand gazelles, and various birds, reptiles, and insects.[2][3]

The research conducted at DDCR allows for management choices to be made using rigorous scientific concepts. Additionally, it furnishes fundamental data for the next surveys and investigations. Current research projects include:

  • Monitoring Program for the Major Site Values of the DDCR
  • Quantitative analysis of the hyper-arid vegetation changes under grazing in Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve
  • Changes in functional diversity under grazing pressure in hyperarid shrubland ecosystem
