The Al Wathba Fossil Dunes are a must-visit when in Abu Dhabi. They were recently discovered, and these formations have taken more than 4 million years to form. Al Wathba Fossil Dunes Protected Area comprises more than 1,700 fossil dunes, spread over 7 square kilometers, making it one of the largest numbers of fossil dunes concentrated in one location in the emirate.t the reserve you can enjoy the natural marvels of the area, by walking the well-lit trails, which extend to 3 kilometers both ways and are surrounded by benches and shades for relaxing.

It is believed that the current fossil dunes in Abu Dhabi started their process of making millions of years ago when we were completely underwater. The sand and the sediments settled down at the bottom of the water. These were automatically mixed with calcium carbonate. The pressure and heat caused them to become solid. After the exit of the water, the dunes got stricken with vital airwaves, which gave them beautiful architectural designs.

*Please note during the holy month of Ramazan (March to April) the Alwathba Fossil Dunes visiting hours are restricted to evening hours only and will be closed during the first half of the day. We request our guests to understand this before booking this tour with us.
