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.

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.
