Liwa Sunset Desert Safari in the Empty Quarter – UAE’s Hidden Gem
Overview
10 hours
Mobile ticket
The Liwa Sunset Desert Safari stands out for its immersive journey deep into the legendary Empty Quarter, the world’s largest uninterrupted sand desert. Unlike standard desert tours, this adventure takes you far from the city into the heart of Liwa’s towering golden dunes, including the iconic Moreeb Dune, known for its dramatic height and steep slopes. Guests experience thrilling dune bashing, serene sandboarding, and a tranquil sunset from one of the highest natural vantage points in the region. Along the way, you’ll visit a traditional camel farm and enjoy authentic Emirati hospitality with Arabic coffee, dates, and optional BBQ dinner under the stars. The breathtaking vastness of the landscape, the absence of crowds, and the rich cultural touches make this more than a safari—it’s a journey into the soul of Arabia. Ideal for photographers, adventurers, and seekers of solitude, this tour offers a once-in-a-lifetime desert experience.

You'd never find place like this.

5.00This isn't a average desert trip. The drive from Abu Dhabi is long, but the moment you see those massive red dunes rising out our nowhere, you get it. The scale is just insane, it's totally different from the more popular desert spot.
Quiet Solitude and Majestic Views

5.00This safari was exactly what I was looking for. Being far out in the Empty Quarter felt authentic and incredibly peaceful. It was a wonderful break from the city bustle. I loved the quiet moments—just watching the endless dunes and the way the sunset lit up the sand.
Desert day!

5.00We booked the tour as a family and it turned out to be a really fantastic experience. It is a proper 4x4 adventure, great views, and time to just relax and enjoy the desert. It wasn't rushed or commercial like some other tours we've done. Would easily to it again next time we're in UAE.
Must consider it

5.00I've never seen a place like this before. The empty Quarter feels untouched, so vast and quiet, almost like another planet. This trip felt like raw and unspoiled, which made it even more special.
