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.
