Unforgettable Desert Experience – Empty Quarter Sunset Safari The sunset safari to the Empty Quarter was an absolute highlight! Even driving through the breathtaking dunes with the 4x4 was an adventure in itself – the thrill of the vehicle gliding over the high sand mountains is simply indescribable. Along the way we were lucky enough to see wild gazelles – a beautiful, almost magical moment in the middle of the vast, quiet desert landscape. The BBQ lunch in a shaded oasis was wonderfully relaxing and provided a perfect break in the middle of the desert. Afterwards we continued across the dunes to Abu Dhabi’s tallest sand dune – a breathtaking sight – and finally to an unforgettable sunset that bathed the desert in warm golden light. This safari offers nature, adventure and relaxation in a perfect combination – absolutely recommended for those who want to experience something very special!

Our family had an absolute blast! Basith was a fantastic driver and guide. The company was very easy to work with and adjust schedule for us as needed (moved our tour from sunset to the morning due to other plans for the evening). Stunning views. Kids loved sand boarding. Grandparents were so amazed by the dunes and loved the adventure. The camels were so friendly! Incredible experience. Can only say positive things. Our family of six were aged 9-72 and everyone enjoyed it!

Fantastic experience! The communication with the company was amazing, I had ask to them to design a private excursion for us that included dune bashing, riding a camel for about 30 minutes, riding a 4x4 motorcycle on the dunes, visiting a camel farm and a photo shoot at sunset. Everything was absolutely perfect! The marshal picked us up from a cruise ship and we drove about 45 minutes to the dunes. On the way we saw wildlife that included Arabian Oryxes, Nubian Ibex and Arabian gazelles. The Marshall, Basith was great! He is intelligent, informative amd caring. We had a super time and was one of our favorite excursions of all time.
Perfect day in the desert!

Passeio Sunset Safari Experience Amazing day! Comfortable car; communicative and helpful guide (and who takes beautiful photos); wonderful food; and high adventures in the dunes. We passed the camel farm, climbed and descended several dunes, saw surreal landscapes, had lunch in an oasis, played sundboard and saw a magnificent sunset. And to complete, we descended running down the huge dune Moreeb. All perfect!
Great experience

Sanal was an amazing guide, kids had a lot of fun with his ability for sand bashing, yhe visit to the camel farm. He also organized a short camel ride for the joy of all of us and then he found the perfect spot to watch the sunset. Couldn't ask for a better organization

What a wonderful day with our guide Basith! We had booked the Empty Quarter Sunset Safari tour spontaneously two days in advance. The communication was wonderful. We always got a response at short notice. Everything went according to plan. Also the stops that made me were fantastic. Our guide has a great experience

As we had requested and agreed with Liwa Adventures, Salan arranged to drop us off in Dubai instead of Abu Dhabi after the safari. He ensured a safe and comfortable trip, showcasing his care and professionalism throughout the journey from Abu Dhabi to Dubai.
