Detailed itinerary
1
Historic Liwa Oasis lies at the northern edge of Rub’ Al Khali (the Empty Quarter) — the world's largest uninterrupted desert. Liwa Oasis benefits from a water table that lies close to the surface and which has supported agriculture and animal husbandry for generations. This creates a dramatic contrast in the landscape between green date palm groves and tall orange-red sand dunes.
The Liwa Oasis extends in an east–west arc for more than 100 kilometres and features some of the world’s largest sand dunes, with many rising more than 150 metres in height.
Travelers can have a picnic lunch in the middle of the Oasis.
2
Situated in Abu Dhabi's majestic Al Dhafra region, Tel Moreeb is considered by many to be the world's tallest sand dune, at over 300 metres high, with its 50-degree incline making it a prime destination for motorsports enthusiasts.
