Abu Dhabi’s Al Wathba Fossil Dune Protected Area now open to public

by admin


Enjoy a 7km hiking trail through these 120,000 year old natural wonders…

The desert areas of the UAE hold many wonders, but few can compare to the ethereal beauty of Al Wathba’s fossil dunes.

These naturally occurring monoliths are jutting, jagged reminders of the emirate’s storied geological past, having been forged over the past 120,000 years.

Found a short distance away from the (also well-worth a visit) Al Wathba Wildlife Reserve, an expanse covering more than 1,700 of the fossil dunes has now been designated as a protected landmark.
