Liwa Overnight Desert Camping Tour FAQ's

The Liwa Overnight Desert Camping Tour is an immersive desert adventure in the Liwa Desert, part of the world's largest continuous sand desert, the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali). This unique experience combines thrilling desert activities with authentic overnight camping under the stars, offering you a chance to disconnect from city life and connect with the serene beauty of the Arabian desert.

Our Liwa Overnight Desert Safari package includes professional desert guide, 4x4 transport from Abu Dhabi, exciting dune bashing, black camel farm visit, Liwa Oasis Visit, Rub Al Khali sunset and sunrise views, private desert campsite with campfire, traditional shisha, outdoor BBQ dinner, and breakfast with Arabic coffee. All transportation, meals, and desert activities included for your UAE desert adventure.

We recommend wearing loose, comfortable cotton clothing suitable for the desert climate. Closed-toe shoes are essential as sandals are not suitable for walking on sand. For winter months, bring a warm jacket as temperatures can drop significantly at night (18-20°C). Essential items to pack include sunglasses, high SPF sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, camera, and any personal medications. We provide all camping equipment including sleeping bags, pillows, and blankets.

Yes, the tour is family-friendly and suitable for children. However, the dune bashing portion can be quite intense and may not be suitable for very young children (under 3 years) or those who experience motion sickness easily. We recommend parental discretion for children's participation in dune bashing activities. All other activities including camel riding and cultural experiences are perfectly safe for children of all ages.

Accommodation consists of comfortable desert tents (shared or private options available depending on your booking preference). Each tent is equipped with clean mattresses, soft bedding, pillows, sleeping bags, and blankets to ensure a restful night's sleep. We provide all necessary camping equipment, so you don't need to bring your own sleeping gear. The tents offer protection from the elements while maintaining the authentic desert camping experience.

As this is an authentic desert camping experience, basic portable toilet facilities and washing facilities are typically provided at the campsite. However, these are basic desert facilities and may vary depending on the specific camping location and weather conditions. We recommend bringing personal hygiene items and wet wipes for your comfort during the overnight stay.

The tour involves moderate physical activities such as night walking over sand dunes and exploring fort and castle sites, which require basic mobility and fitness levels. Due to the intense nature of dune driving and the 60-65 km desert crossing with its bumpy rides over sand dunes, this tour is not recommended for pregnant women, individuals with serious back problems, heart conditions, or recent surgeries. Guests with mobility issues should inform us in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements. Most activities can be enjoyed by people with average fitness levels.
