The road cuts through the desert landscape with long stripes of green vegetation on both sides protecting the road from the blowing sand.
Once in Mezairaa, The first stop will be a visit to one of the”Liwa Fort” which housed the tribal chief in bygone days. Next stop will be at the Liwa Date Shop, which sells the products of the Liwa Date Factory.
The drive continues southwards with the road winding through the spectacular scene of dunes. The magical encounter with the great Empty Quarter starts here, the endless sea of sand dunes will captivate your soul and the scenery will become more and more breathtaking! . Next, we will stop at a “Camel Farm” where you will be introduced to the life of bygone days of camel herding and Bedu life. 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 mix of landscape is breathtaking, from “Sabkha Land” (dried-up salt lakes) to sand bush forest and gigantic dunes with the sound of “Sand Avalanche“, a unique experience reserved for the sand dunes of Liwa area. If lucky, we might spot the most elegant animal of the desert namely the “Sand Gazelle”
