Additional Information

The Liwa Desert Safari Tour offers travelers a rare opportunity to explore the UAE’s most untouched and dramatic desert landscape. Known as the Rub Al Khali, or the Empty Quarter, this vast desert stretches across much of Arabia and is famous for its endless dunes, unique wildlife, and deep historical roots.

Your journey begins from Abu Dhabi in a private vehicle, driven by a licensed desert expert. The 2-hour drive to Liwa passes through stunning desert highways and small villages, giving a glimpse of Emirati rural life. Upon reaching the desert, guests experience more than 3 hours of exploration, sandboarding, and photography among the tallest dunes in the region.

A stop at a camel farm offers insight into Bedouin traditions and how camels remain central to life in the desert. The highlight of the day is a visit to the Moreeb Dune, famous for its massive height and annual motorsport festivals. Guests can enjoy breathtaking views from the top or take incredible photos of the golden landscape.

Midday, you’ll relax at the Liwa Oasis, shaded by date palms and surrounded by serenity. Here, a delicious picnic lunch awaits, sandwiches, fresh fruits, Arabic salad, and juice.

The return journey offers more scenic views as the desert glows under the setting sun. Whether you’re a photographer, a nature enthusiast, or simply want to see the UAE beyond the cities, this full-day Liwa Safari is a must-do.

    We booked a customized 8 hours day trip for our flight stopover in Dubai. Tour Operator was very responsive. They were flexible and understanding of our time schedule and prepared itinerary according to it. It all went perfectly well, from pick-up at the hotel and the tour around the City. Our tour guide, Mr. Ashraf was very knowledgeable and helpful too. Highly recommended.

    Great experience with them. Had a long layover in Dubai, and only had a few days before my flight. Contacted Travel Plan Dubai to see if they could help with the advance visa. They responded very quickly, and unlike other travel agencies who ask for money first and then talk to you, Travel Plan Dubai talked to me first about all my options, took my details and confirmed with me about visa chances and options. They applied for my visa on the same day as I made the payment and the very next day I got my approved visa. Also booked a one day city tour with them. Good tour and great communication. Will definitely recommend them.

    Basheer is an excellent tour guide. We travelled to Dubai and Abudhabi for 4 days and Basheer coordinated and toured with us for the entire stay. His knowledge on various landmarks and internal routes makes him stand out from others. Highly recommend him.
