Breathtaking Beginnings: Al Wathba Fossil Dunes
Kickstart your experience with efficient air-conditioned hotel transfers. Step into an ancient world as your journey begins at the mesmerizing Al Wathba Fossil Dunes. With over 1,700 fossil dunes, it's like strolling through a natural art gallery, meticulously crafted over 4 million years.

With benches dotting the trails, pause to soak in this timeless spectacle.
Vibrant Vitality: Al Wathba Wetland Reserve
Next, journey into Abu Dhabi’s first legally protected reserve. Once a mere coastal salt flat, it now thrives with natural and man-made lakes teeming with over 250 bird species, including the striking Greater Flamingos. Engage with a live lesson in evolution as you explore the 2 walking trails, the perfect place for bird-watching. Spot these pink-hued birds and their color, a quirky result of a diet high in pigmented carotenoids at the reserve that hosts over 4,000 flamingos during autumn and spring!
Crystalline Glory: Al Wathba Long Salt Lake
Finally, marvel at the salt lake, a surreal blend of nature and human engineering. Here, water fed by underground pipes from the local sabkha interacts mysteriously with ancient salt deposits, spawning ethereal salt pads.

A fitting end to a tour that beautifully encapsulates the harmony between nature, history, and human curiosity.
