Tour Itinerary
- 1.00 pm - For your overnight camping trip in Liwa, a 4x4 land cruiser will pick you up from your accommodation in Abu Dhabi.

- Between 3 to 4 p.m. We will reach the camp site that is in Liwa desert. Before riding across the Liwa sands, we will stop to let the air out from the tires.

When driving up the high slope of the sands and plunging into the crevices with sand covering the glass, it might occasionally feel almost like your automobile is flying well over the ground.

Liwa camels are primarily black-coated and originate from the northeastern part of Saudi Arabia, as opposed to the United Arab Emirates' camels, which are usually the colour brown. A huge hump in the centre of the back, long hair that covers the whole body, thick and long legs, big feet, and a well-developed udder are some of its most distinctive characteristics.
