We are delighted to invite you to an upcoming nature exploration at Al Qudra area, renowned for its rich biodiversity. Our plan is to explore this unique ecosystem on Friday evening, preferably one hour before sunset. Together, we will venture away from the picnic spots and discover a secluded location brimming with abundant natural life. Prepare to observe and familiarize yourselves with the remarkable diversity of species inhabiting this area, including spiders, dragonflies, beetles, and antlions.

Here is the outline of our nature walk:
