With an emphasis on sustainably sourced, local ingredients and reduced sugar, this distinct experience is presented on an ocean-inspired stand adorned with repurposed coral and marble for a harmonious touch.

As a special feature, curious guests will be provided a map link that enables them to track the journeys of the turtles released as part of the project's conservation efforts.

"As we celebrate 20 years of DTRP, and in view of the threats our oceans face, it is more important than ever to raise awareness of the critical conservation work being done to protect sea turtles,” commented Barbara Lang-Lenton, Director of Aquarium at Jumeirah Burj Al Arab. “Initiatives like the turtle-inspired stay experience at Jumeirah Al Naseem not only offers guests a distinct and memorable experience, it provides a deeper awareness and vital support to the DTRP's efforts in rehabilitating and releasing these endangered species back into the wild."

Dedicated to the conservation of these precious marine creatures, DTRP is run in collaboration with Dubai's Wildlife Protection Office, with support provided by Dubai's Royal Family veterinary facilities and laboratory work provided by the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory (CVRL).

About Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation (DTRP) Programme

DTRP is run in collaboration with Dubai's Wildlife Protection Office, with support provided by Dubai's Royal Family veterinary facilities and laboratory work provided by the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory (CVRL). Since its launch in 2004, the DTRP has been instrumental in releasing over 2,150 rehabilitated turtles, with 86 monitored by satellite tracking. The tagged turtles have embarked on remarkable journeys, travelling as far as Thailand in some instances. 

Beginning with initial treatment at Jumeirah Burj Al Arab's Aquarium, turtles move to the Turtle Rehabilitation Sanctuary located in Jumeirah Al Naseem to receive dedicated care. Here, visitors can witness their recovery in the lagoon and even participate in daily educational talks and turtle feeding before their eventual release. Additionally, the project runs an educational programme for school groups to deepen their understanding of the DTRP's work, the significance of these incredible creatures, and the challenges they face in their survival. This programme attracts around 1,700 school children from all seven Emirates annually.
