The Arabian tahr an endangered animal
The Arabian tahr an endangered animal
Arabian tahrs are the smallest of the tahr species, endemic to the Hajar Mountains of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Sultanate of Oman. They are always seen at high elevations, between 1000 and 1800 meters, where rainfall is heavy.
In spite of their small sizes, Arabian tahrs are very strong and agile animals, with heavy built bodies and solid horns. They mainly feed on leaves, fruits, shrubs and grasses, and also depend on a regular supply of water.
Currently, the tahrs are enlisted as endangered by the IUCN Red List. Although there is no exact data on their population, it is said that there are just less than 5000 of them left. The main threats they face include intense grazing, illegal hunting and habitat destruction.
Many efforts have been made since the 1970s to conserve the Arabian tahr species. In 2009, Wadi Wurayah, Fujairah was declared as the first protection mountain area of the United Arab Emirates. It is now home for the tahrs, and other rare species.
There are also three institutions involved in captive breeding of the animals, one in Oman and two in the UAE. Efforts are also made to make people aware of plight of these endangered beings.

Jabal al Jais highest peak in the UAE. Great driving roads. .
Dubai to Kalba UAE road journey, Car driving in UAE’s, Spectacular Mountains.
Road trip from Dubai to Kalba through mountain Highway. the road fallows through majestic Hajar mountains. This highway gives an easier and much more direct path between Dubai, Sharjah and the East coast Kalba, with two lanes each way .The winding highway goes through the Gulf’s longest tunnel . From Dubai it is E84 and after Mahela, it branches to E102 till Kalba. Due recent rains lots of surrounding desert sand has been dumped on the road, so now sand removal work is being done at many places on these roads.
