Itinerary

  • Al Wathba Fossil Dunes

    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.

    1 hour 30 minutes

    This is an exciting and spectacular sport, with a trip to the races being one of the most memorable and often surprising highlights of a visit to Abu Dhabi. Bring family or friends and cheer on characterful camels as they gallop around a specially made track. You will be pleasantly surprised at the impressive speeds that these seemingly ungainly creatures can reach. Races normally take place on weekend mornings, with additional races on public holidays. Head to the Al Wathba Camel Race Track (about 45km east of Abu Dhabi on Al Ain Road), or to the Al Maqam Track near Al Ain, Abu Dhabi’s garden city about an hour and a half away from the capital, to get a taste of this traditional and fun-filled sport. Try to get to the racetracks as early as possible to soak up the atmosphere in full. Entrance to the races is free.

Desert wonders

Published on Nov, 2023

This was a wonderful way to see the natural landscape outside of Abu Dhabi. As a solo traveler I felt completely secure with my guide Shakeer who was welcoming and informative. He even offered to swap out seeing the Grand Mosque portion of the trip with the wetlands where flamingos were visiting for the winter months. Truly a magical trip to be remembered.
