All about the trip

Experience an incredible sunset in the Liwa Oasis and wake up the next day to a dazzling sunrise over the rosy-colored sand dunes. This overnight tour offers the most incredible views that the desert has to offer. Join in for a day rich in culture, adventure, and ultimate relaxation.

In the afternoon our experienced English-speaking guide will pick you up in style and comfort from your hotel. Our 4X4 cruiser comes equipped with air-conditioning, mineral water or soda and a driver. As you make your way into the desert the guide will share the history of the city as you leave the tall skyscrapers behind. The guide will also provide information about the itinerary of the tour this is the perfect opportunity to ask a question or amend the activities if necessary. The journey will take you the Liwa Oasis renowned for its virgin dunes and tranquil landscape. The Oasis is filled with date palm trees abundant with the sweet fruit dangling from the trees.

When you arrive in the desert it’s time for three hours of exhilarating dune bashing! This activity involves the driver riding to the peak of the sand dunes and letting the car slide down with control. You will experience a suspension of time and feel weightless as you make your way to the base of the sand dune. You can also enjoy sandboarding in the desert and try to conquer the dunes as you would the waves in the ocean. In the distance you will see the Moreeb sand dune, which is 300 meters high, making it the tallest sand dune in the world! After this activity, we will make our way to the camp, just in time for the lovely sunset.

Once you arrive at the camp, you’ll notice it’s in the Bedouin fashion. This lovely camp is an important part of Arabic culture, the Bedouin people were traditionally nomadic and once filled the Fertile Crescent. Tall tents and lush carpeted floors with soft cushions add a sophisticated touch for your desert adventure. Feel free to relax and lounge in the tent if that is your preference, you can enjoy a traditional shisha pipe, snack on sweet dates, sip tea or enjoy an Arabic coffee. Feel like royalty as you take part in this culturally rich adventure.

Look up at the sky and admire the dazzling stars unhindered from ambient city light. As dinner time approaches you can feast on delicious BBQed cuisine, kebabs, hummus, and flatbreads to fill your bellies after a day of action. During this time, you can choose to relax and sleep in the tent as you await the sunrise. However, if you choose to stay awake and star gaze you will be transfixed by the thousands of stars that light up the sky. The stars combined with the milky tones of the moon is a breathtaking sight to behold.

When the sun begins to rise; breakfast awaits in the main tent. After we’ve finished, we will pack up our camp and make our way to the Moreeb Dune. Here the guide will take pictures of you with the endless sand dunes in the background. Once we’ve finished at the dune, it’s time to say goodbye to the desert.

As the desert fades away and the bustling city life approached, you’ll wonder why you ever left the Oasis. Join us for an incredible day and let us show you Emirati hospitality!
