Think of Dubai and often the first thing that comes to mind is its jagged, space-age skyline, with the world's tallest building piercing the occasional cloud over the desert sheikhdom.

The shadows cast by those buildings, however, grow ever-closer to a place often missed by tourists gawking at Dubai's luxury malls and reveling in its nonstop nightlife — the flamingos of the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.
