The Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project
The current public interface for the DTRP is an outdoor turtle rehabilitation enclosure located within the Jumeirah Al Naseem hotel. The enclosure is open to the public every day (never closes) of the week; there is no need to book, and there is no charge. There's a small scheduled feeding starting at 11 am every Wednesday only (without exception) that anyone is welcome to join. Feeding takes about 20 minutes. Feeding priority is given to children, and the opportunity to feed is not guaranteed, although DTRP does its best to make everyone happy.
There is metred parking outside on beach road, free parking for two hours in the Madinat Souq car park (approximately a 10-minute walk away) or you can valet park.
You should remember when visiting that all the turtles are in the enclosure because they are sick or injured and that you are coming to see the turtles during their recovery.
If you find a sick or injured turtle, please keep it in a wet towel and call on +971 43017198, never try to remove the barnacles.
