Many UAE residents aren’t aware of the beautiful Camel Rock and Fossil Rock in Sharjah desert.

Recently, a UAE photographer took amazing shots of Camel Rock and Fossil Rock at sunset. Ihsan Salhia who goes by the username ‘tgfromdubai’ took to Instagram to share the snaps with his 107K followers.

“A few weeks ago I was in the desert on top of Fossil Rock Dunes when I spotted this one massive rock in the distance. It had this beautiful shape to it. I had to come back for it. I pictured the sun rising through the cracks and giving a beautiful flare that bloomed like a daisy. So I headed out early this morning and walked through desert until I reached the rock. This is the result. I would love your feedback. 🇦🇪 Dubai 🇦🇪 “This is my Disneyland”” Ihsan captioned the post.

The talented photographer had shared a gorgeous photo of fossil rock with the caption:


“I visited and halfway climbed this location to shoot sunset last week, but the temperature was about 50°C (122°F) and that made the sand red hot which also made the vertical climb so difficult and dangerous that I had to come back down. On the way home, all I kept saying to myself was that I have to go back. So this morning I headed out at about 4am, got there early and began to set up just before sunrise. The vertical climb was still difficult but since there was no sun, it was bearable. In fact I was about 20 min early which worked out great for me to take a few test shots. When the sun finally came into frame I was all smiles. It was worth coming back for. If you watch my stories the day of this post then you get to see the entire adventure and the before and after for the edit. “

Camel Rock is said to date back over 80 million years and Fossil Rock is named because the formation actually reveal marine fossils around its crevices.
