Among various oasis safari tours, Liwa Adventure is preferred by those who love thrill, excitement and adventure. Feel the rush of adrenaline in the ups and downs of sand dunes of the oasis and remember the sands of Liwa for a great lifetime experience.

HISTORY

In the past, the oasis was where the desert travelers or nomads hoped to find water and of course their own kind for any help that was needed. Oasis was where people set their livelihood simply because this is the one place where they were sure to find water and fertility in the land. The LIWA Oasis is located on the 100 Km off the south of Persian Gulf and shares its boundaries with Saudi Arabia as well as Abu Dhabi. For the locals, this oasis is the Southernmost settlement of Abu Dhabi. LIWA is not just any other oasis on the map. It houses more than 50 different villages. In fact, this oasis leaves an important and indelible mark on the geography of the beautiful city of Dubai. LIWA is the original home of royalty that rule the cities of the United Arab of Emirates. Yes! The present ruling family was originally based in LIWA and in 1973, they moved to the current capital, Abu Dhabi. Needless to say, traces of this royalty can be seen even today.

There was a time when the only connectivity to the oasis was through the rugged travel in the desert. But now times have improved. Today, you have state of the art multilane highways connecting the LIWA oasis to the important centres in Abu Dhabi. Therefore traveling to this part of the country is not at all difficult.

Therefore, a visit to Dubai is incomplete without going through the beautiful oasis of LIWA.

It boasts some of the most challenging sand dunes in the Middle East.Liwa is an oasis area in Abu Dhabi emirate of the UAE, lying south of Abu Dhabi on the border with Saudi Arabia.
