12/27/23, 2:08 PM Emirates Post Group Launches Commemorative Stamp to Celebrate Al Wathba Fossil Dunes Reserve
Recognised as a geological monument by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the
reserve is on track for UNESCO Global Geopark status, reflecting its geological significance with various
experts theorising that they formed during the Ice Age dating back to around 120 thousand years ago.
These fossil sand dunes provide a glimpse into the ever-changing natural world. The distinctive shapes of
these formations in the Al Wathba area are results of an intricate interplay between wind force and
sediment supply.
