About this experience
What to expect
Make your first stop at the stunning Al Wathba Salt Lake, a hidden natural wonder known for its striking white salt formations and crystal-like patterns. Surrounded by golden sand dunes, this unique location offers incredible photography opportunities and a peaceful atmosphere rarely found in the desert.
Continue your journey to the remarkable Al Wathba Fossil Dunes, where wind and time have sculpted ancient sand formations into breathtaking natural structures. These fossilized dunes create a surreal landscape that feels like stepping into another world and are considered one of Abu Dhabi’s most extraordinary geological attractions.
During the tour, relax and enjoy a delightful picnic lunch in the desert, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the open landscape. This peaceful break allows you to fully immerse yourself in the natural environment while enjoying refreshments in a unique outdoor setting.
As the afternoon progresses, head deeper into the desert towards the famous Al Quaa Milky Way Spot, known as one of the darkest locations in the UAE for stargazing and desert experiences. Before night falls, witness a breathtaking desert sunset, where the sky transforms into shades of orange and gold as the sun slowly disappears behind the dunes.
