Liwa Safari

I’ve been to Abu Dhabi and Dubai and their desert safaris. They are a lot of fun, but this time around, I wanted something different. Then I came across the Liwa Safari while surfing through the website of my trusted tour service provider, Rayna Tours. Instantly booked it. This is an amazing place 200 km away from Abu Dhabi. It is actually an Oasis. The dunes here are close to 300 metres, so, you can imagine the thrill we had while dune bashing. Then we relaxed at a freshwater pool. It was cool and had a lot of fun in it. At the Bedouin campsite, we were served a scrumptious lunch, and the stunning views of the Oasis made it even better. Post this, we returned back safely to Abu Dhabi. This tour by Rayna is something everyone should try who are looking for something different.

On a friend’s suggestion, I booked the Liwa Safari from Rayna Tours, as she said it is quite different and worth the long drive. We were picked up on time, and thus began the long journey. En route we saw many sights but the best one was the Liwa Desert. Wow! The dunes actually look red and are huge. Dune bashing was exciting and a little bit scary. But the stop at the pools in the oasis was a much needed break. The lunch at the camp was also delicious and quite authentic. Then we just relaxed a while till the time came to go back home. What an awesome tour. Good job, Rayna Tours.

Before going to the Liwa desert safari, my friends told me that how much I will enjoy dune bashing will depend on the driver's skills. If he is skilled and experienced, I can enjoy dune bashing the most. Luckily, we got Fayaz as our driver and he gave us a wonderful time with dune bashing in the largest desert of the UAE. The desert safari also included visits to the unexplored beauty of the desert. There were so many hidden treasures and years of history that our trip turned out to be adventurous as well as informative.

We were really excited to go dune bashing on one of the largest sand desert in the UAE – Liwa Oasis. Our driver, Ibrahim was a good company and quite knowledgeable about the desert and its background. After listening to him, we wondered how the ancestors of the Abu Dhabi's royal family would have stayed in the desert in the bygone era. After looking at the amazing dune formation, we wondered if it is safe or not. Thank God, we had Ibrahim, who drove the SUV in the desert with great perfection, giving us an adrenaline rush throughout the drive. After an adrenaline-pumping ride, we were struck by the impressive beauty of the Liwa desert. The fossil rocks, camel rocks, and the fresh water pools and palm grooves transported us into the Bedouin era.
