Dunas fósiles de Al Wathba

The fossil dunes of Al Wathba are formations of sand hardened by moisture and sculpted by the wind over thousands of years. Their undulating shapes create an almost lunar landscape, especially photogenic at sunrise and sunset. A protected natural area, about 45 minutes from downtown Abu Dhabi. There are walkways and shaded areas to explore the site without damaging the formations; it is advisable to bring water and sunscreen. 📷 Photographs courtesy of Mirzasuhail45 (CC BY-SA 4.0), Ronnie Altising (CC BY-SA 4.0) and Robert Haandrikman (CC BY 2.0), via Wikimedia Commons.
