Al Ain - Liwa Desert
Today the tour follows an old Bedouin trail from the oasis of Al Ain to the Liwa desert. The Liwa area is the outskirts of Rub Al Khali, the magnificent sand desert of the Arabian Peninsula. This area was home of the original tribes who settled on the Abu Dhabi island in the 18th Century. En route we pass salt flats and spectacular red coloured sand dunes, a fascinating scenery for photographs.

We depart from Liwa in time to reach the Dubai desert to enjoy an unforgettable sunset. Arrive at our campsite where you have opportunity to do camel riding, sand boarding and try out a henna design on hands or feet. Enjoy a delicious barbecue dinner and a shisha (Arabic water pipe). Watch our belly dancer performing her show around the campfire by starlight. Pitch the tent beneath the star studded sky and sleep the dreams of the desert.
