Often calling the miniature Mars, fossil dunes in Abu Dhabi is an insta-worthy sight of mother nature. From the city centre, it takes no more than 30 minutes to reach this beautiful countenance of the earth – also, if you've chosen the likes of Eastern Mangroves Hotel & Spa by Anantara as your lodging option, it shouldn't be difficult for you to get the transport sorted. What's so eccentric about these fossil dunes is that they don't really stay in one shape – the courtesy of the desert wind one might say. The sand monuments are constantly changing their shape, which is the main point of interest. With all this in mind, what are the odds of you not heading off to this spectacular setting of nature?
