I fell in love to this place the moment I saw it. So far, for 6 months, I went there 4x and 3x was at night and it was so amazing. It was so calm and peaceful. The stars feels like covering you like a blanket and all you can hear is the blow of the wind and the current from electricity nearby. A must visit place.

It’s nice experience and even it’s a sandy we can reach near to dunes by car (4WD vehicles not necessary) . Better to wear glasses to protect eyes from sand. To reaching there only two way road is there and it’s filled with sand so cautious driving required. Drones restricted area.

Nice place for taking pictures as well as camping. This place is not so far from the city. Fossil Dunes formation is very close from the road (about 300 m).

Every review Ive read, was spot on, so Ill repeat the same info! Wonderful act of nature, but theres not much of it and silly humans have left rubbish all over the place. To make it worth while, take a blanket and a picnic and watch the sun go down once youve got your insta shots!

Miniature compared to the “Off Road UAE” book photos. Easy to access. Not remote. Only worth a quick visit, not a day trip. Blahhh

This is the exact geo location where you can see more rock formations, other places named “fossil dunes “ are also nearby but number of rock formations are less and small in size . So only choose this place as destination to fossil dunes in your navigation app.Fossil dunes are hardened sand dunes shaped uniquely by desert wind . Though it looks hard these are breakable sandstones which changes its shapes very slowly unlike normal sand dunes. Normal sand dunes moves and changes shapes frequently according to wind.A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, or earth pyramid ) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes in the desert in dry, hot areas.Weathering is the process where rock decomposes or decays rocks . (Al watba - Abudhabi UAE)

Frankly speaking, the fossil formations of the rocks are not many, but they are distinctive, and there are no ropes or rock formations in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi in any other place except this place. And the history to which it was exposed to a great deal and for many years, really Glory be to God, the greatness of God Almighty is manifested in these formations and their splendor
