Perhaps the best way to experience the Middle Eastern desert safari is through dune bashing in the pure sand of Liwa Oasis.

Not very popular in the ears of everyone, this place doesn’t much have to offer in terms of cityscapes and modern mall. What Liwa possesses is extreme natural beauty, pristine desert surroundings, and an authentic retreat away from the city’s daily hustle.

If you fancy gaining some perspective on the UAE’s growth and progress, it is only appropriate to look further from snippets of the past as to how things were. A quick trip to Liwa will give you a new sense of appreciation for the milestones this city has achieved.
