Al Wathba fossil dunes are believed to be formed ages ago when stagnated winds swept sand combined with calcium carbonate. The dunes are very unique in their appearance and their tall structure makes the tour worthwhile.
When you opt for this tour experience, our guides will first take you to the Al Wathba camel race track, where camel racing is hosted. If you are in Abu Dhabi during the dates when the camel race is scheduled to happen, you should ensure visiting the tracks to enjoy the sight as the camels compete!
