What exactly is Fossil Rock?

Fossil Rock is a large, natural rock formation in the Mleiha desert area. It's famous for containing numerous marine fossils, such as shells and corals, that are millions of years old from a time when the area was covered by the Tethys Sea. It's a protected archaeological site.

Can we actually see and touch the fossils?

Yes! The fossils are embedded in the rock face and are clearly visible. While we encourage you to look closely and take pictures, we ask all our guests to be respectful of this unique geological site and not damage or attempt to remove any fossils.

Is a Fossil Rock tour suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Our tours are perfect for all skill levels. Our guides provide a full safety briefing and instructions before the ride. The terrain is varied, offering fun for beginners and experienced riders alike.

Where is Fossil Rock located?

Fossil Rock is located in the Emirate of Sharjah, near the town of Mleiha. It's approximately a 45-60 minute drive from central Dubai. We provide clear meeting point instructions, and hotel pickup options are available.

What should I wear for a fossil tour?

We recommend comfortable, casual clothing that you don't mind getting a little dusty. Closed-toe shoes like sneakers are mandatory for safety. We provide all necessary safety gear, including helmets and goggles.

Is this tour different from a regular desert safari?

Yes, it's very different. A typical buggy desert safari focuses on dune bashing and camp activities. Our fossil tours are focused on the adventure of off-road riding combined with the unique experience of exploring a significant geological and historical site.
