Tour Overview
Journey into deep geological history on the Fossil Rock Desert Safari! Located near Mleiha on the desert border between Dubai and Sharjah, this tour takes you to towering rock formations surrounded by deep red dunes. Climb aboard a high-powered 4x4 Land Cruiser with an experienced off-road driver. Navigate steep sand bowls and rocky slopes around the famous Camel Rock and Fossil Rock — huge limestone mountains that were once at the bottom of the prehistoric Tethys ocean! Take a guided walking stop to inspect real fossilized marine shells, corals, and sea creatures embedded in the rock faces over 70 million years ago. After dramatic off-road driving and unforgettable photo stops, head to a desert camp for camel riding, sandboarding, and an open-air BBQ dinner under the desert night sky.
