The story

The operator lists one option: a full-day Liwa Oasis and Moreeb dune expedition, private, about 10 hours. Liwa is in the Al Dhafra region of Abu Dhabi emirate, at the edge of the Rub' al Khali, the Empty Quarter; Visit Abu Dhabi puts the drive from Abu Dhabi city to Al Dhafra at two to three hours depending on where you are going, so of the ten hours, four to six are on the road. The sheet does not give the route, the stops, meals, or whether the 'dune expedition' means driving on the dunes; your captain confirms all of this with the operator before you pay, along with whether the price is per person or for the vehicle.

What it feels like: the city thins out, then the road runs for a long time through flat, pale desert, and then the sand starts to rise. Liwa is where the dunes become enormous and turn orange-red, with date palms growing among them. Tel Moreeb is the one people drive all this way for: Visit Abu Dhabi describes it as over 300 metres high with a 50-degree incline, and standing at its foot you understand why a winter hill-climb for four-wheel drives, quad bikes and dirt bikes is held on it. Out here there is space, silence and a light that changes the colour of the sand by the hour. It is a long day and a big one, and the drive home is quiet.

Who this suits, and why: the photography traveller and the couple who want the desert on a grand scale rather than a camp on the city's edge; the adventure traveller and the friends group who have done an evening safari and want to go further; a multigenerational family comfortable with a long day in a private car, because the vehicle is theirs and the pace can be set with the driver. It is not a day for small children who dislike long drives, for anyone prone to car sickness if the day includes dune driving, or for a first visit to Abu Dhabi with only two or three days: the city's own sights are closer.

What happens

The plan as the operator runs it. Start times and pickup are confirmed for your date.

  1. Your private vehicle collects you from your Abu Dhabi hotel at the time on your voucher; an early start makes the most of the light.

  2. Two to three hours by road into the Al Dhafra region. Your captain confirms the route and any stops with the operator.

  3. Time among the Liwa dunes and date palms and at Tel Moreeb. What the 'dune expedition' on the operator's list includes, and how long you spend at each place, is confirmed with your voucher.

  4. The long drive back to your Abu Dhabi hotel, about 10 hours after pickup.

Know before you go

  • Price basis: the operator gives one price for this private day trip and does not say whether it is per person or for the vehicle. Your captain confirms before you pay, together with how many guests the vehicle takes.
  • It is a long day: Visit Abu Dhabi puts the drive from Abu Dhabi city to Al Dhafra at two to three hours, so expect four to six hours of the ten in the vehicle.
  • The operator does not list the stops, meals or whether the day includes driving on the dunes. Ask your captain; if it does, it is not for anyone pregnant or with back or neck trouble, and babies may not join dune driving (Visit Abu Dhabi).
  • Liwa sits at the edge of the Empty Quarter, and the air is very dry. Carry more water than you think you need, and electrolytes if you use them.
  • Wear light, loose clothing, a hat, sunglasses and a scarf against sun and blown sand; open shoes are easier than trainers in soft sand. Bring a warm layer if you will be driving back after dark.
  • Food: ask your captain what meals, if any, are part of the day and what vegetarian or Jain choices there will be; Liwa is far from the city's restaurants.
  • The Liwa International Festival and the Moreeb hill climb run in the winter; if your date falls in festival weeks, the area can be busy. Your captain can check the current year's dates on visitabudhabi.ae.
