Full Day Liwa Adventure
Safari - ( LWA-IND-1

Situated south west of Abu Dhabi on
the edge of the great Empty Quarter desert (the largest of Arabia), the
exhilarating drive over the highest sand dunes in the world is simply a
unique and most spectacular experience you will ever encounter. Our
journey will take us towards Abu Dhabi, cruising through the multi lane
highway passing by Jebel Ali free zone and crossing the borders of Abu
Dhabi. The drive continues through tarmac road, sand tracks, along the
famous oil pipelines. Our first visit will be at the spectacular
Heritage village of HH Shk. Hamdan, known as ‘the rainbow Sheikh’,
situated in the midst of the desert, it houses two of his magnificent
inventions; a giant truck built at 7 times the scale of it’s normal
brother and a mega globe structure, a unique architecture similar to a
giant caravan with different layers and chambers. We then continue
towards the south passing some magnificent desert landscape and stop for
lunch at the famous Liwa Hotel.
After lunch, the
real adventure will begin , first we will visit a Camel farm where
our guides will be happy to lecture you about this marvelous beast and its
vital importance in the life the bedus. We continue our drive on tarmac
road towards the Moreb hill, an
interesting site in the midst of some gigantic dunes especially built by
the authorities in Abu Dhabi to exhibit specialized desert races twice a
year. Our adventure will take off from here into the vast sea of sand and
we will climb the Steepest of sand dunes and roll down in a ‘roller
coaster’ style, the adrenaline level will gradually increase and the drive
will get more and more exciting especially when you start hearing the
sound of "Sand Avalanche" a very unique experience which can only
be experienced in the sand dunes of Liwa area. We will pass numerous
desert reserves and if lucky, we might spot some of the rare and
indigenous species of Arabia; the Arabian gazelle, which used to roam the
desert in the past and were threatened to the extinction, thanks to the
effort of HH. Sheikh Zayed, who, succeeded in re-introducing and
protecting them. Another attraction on this tour will be the sighting of
the unique "Sand Roses" which are basically a form of crystallized
gypsum forming under the salt flats called "Sabkhas" and have different
shapes which looks much like a rose flower with open petals. We continue our adventurous
journey; and just before we head back to the road we will introduce you to
the latest in “desert sport” namely Sand Skiing where you can test
your skills in sliding "surfing" on sand!
