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.
We offer a private tour from your preferred pick-up location within Abu Dhabi.
Itinerary
Al Wathba Fossil Dunes
1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeIt 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.Camel Track
1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThis 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.
