Today I went to Khor Kalba on the Eastern Coast of UAE. (Around one and half hours from Dubai) . This patch of Mangroves is supposedly one of the most productive stretches for Birding in UAE. 
This is the only place in the world where you can see the Kalbaensis sub-species of the Collared Kingfisher. Sadly, I was too close to Dusk and didn't manage enough time to search for one of the 50 odd pairs of this bird found here - I did however, manage to see a Common Kingfisher.And here are some snaps of a Lifer gull for me the Sooty Gull (Larus hemprichii)
I also saw a lot of other gulls - Slender-billed and Black-headed.Read about this birding site on this link - http://www.tommypedersen.com/UAE-sites.htm
