Following the New 7 Wonders campaign that created a new list of wonders from around the world, organizers are campaigning to choose the top 7 wonders of nature. Among the finalists are Bu Tinah Island in the UAE, the Dead Sea in Jordan and Palestine, and Jeita Grotto in Lebanon.
To me I’ve been to the Dead Sea several times and I believe it should be on the list, and from what I heard about Jeita Grotto it should be there too, but I was really amazed when I came across the Bu Tinah Island, that is one of the best natural spots here in the Middle East!
Bu Tinah Island is part of the Marawah Biosphere Reserve in Abu Dhabi, an amazing place with an amazing range of habitants of birds and sea creatures, you can find out more about the island in the below clip, I would really love to visit it but unfortunately it’s not open for visitors, the idea is to preserve this natural treasure.
You can vote from the UAE by texting Bu Tinah to 3888, each SMS costs 2 AED or via telephone using the 24-hour international hotline: +448721840007 or +442033470901, at the end of the message enter the Bu Tinah nominee code 7705, or simply visit www.vote7.com and vote for the 7 spots you find fascinating, don’t forget to vote for the Dead Sea and Jeita Grotto.
