Unique private and spectacular desert tour - An absolutely impressive, exciting and fun tour. Jeep ride through the desert across the dunes in total solitude was spectacular. Our guide Ahmed drove us safely through the magnificent desert landscape at all times and made the experience a unique experience with his tour guide. Staying in the small secluded oasis with fantastic food was wonderful and the subsequent sunset breathtaking. The ride went back over the sandy slope in the dark, even at any time with a safe feeling. The experience was unique and completely private. NO ONE else was on the road except our own vehicle. That was GREAT

Our guides were incredibly friendly, professional and accompanied us safely and with a lot of experience through the desert. You felt in good hands at all times. The food was also excellent and completed the day perfectly.
Overall, an all-round perfect day that we would do again at any time. Highly recommended!

An Absolutely Fantastic Safari with the Best Guide Rafi! - Had an absolutely fantastic desert safari experience in Liwa! The scenery was incredibly beautiful - the Liwa dunes are so tall and truly majestic. Our guide Rafi was amazing. Not only is he a highly skilled driver who expertly took us dune bashing, but he also helped us take photos and even taught us some fun posing tips. Watching the sunset at the end of the trip was the perfect, breathtaking finale. Everything was wonderful and absolutely worth the 2.5-hour drive. Highly recommended!

ADVENTURE AND EXCITEMENT IN THE DESERT - Leaving at lunch time we drove for 2 hours or so towards Liwa Oasis, and after having the pressure on the tyres reduced we hit the dunes in Empty Quarter… and that’s when the fun and adventure really started. Our driver and guide Mohammed, excelled in his driving skills up,down and around the huge dunes. And no one else in sight as we spent the late afternoon until sunset driving around the deserts. Absolutely awesome, Mohammed always ensuring that safety comes first whenever we paused to walk around and take photos of the views. We were up there until sunset and then headed to a small oasis where a delicious and tasty dinner was prepared for us. It’s a long day out but truly worthwhile.

Unforgettable, natural, adventurous, safe, fun, impressive! - A really great experience! You should definitely have experienced! Nature at its most beautiful. We were picked up very conveniently directly from the hotel by two drivers at about 1:30 p.m., and were able to have very pleasant conversations and learn some about the country and culture during the drive. After about 2.5h we started the wonderful dune ride. Completely safe, it offers an unforgettable adventure feeling! The red sand is just a miracle. We could even spot gazelles, saw camels on the way, made an occasional stop to whizz down the dunes on a board and enjoy the sunset. Really beautiful. In the evening then in the oasis there was a really very generous wonderful food, where you were also asked what you like and was freshly shopped accordingly. Wonderful palate with very pleasant accompaniment, cosmopolitan, multicultural and very hospitable. At the end I was able to climb a dune under a clear starry sky, just great! Nature likes to show itself to those who love it. In the end we were again comfortably dropped off at the hotel and were thus about 23:30 at home. I would like to thank my drivers for this unforgettable experience! Value for money great, gladly again!

Desert tour of lifetime - We had an absolutely amazing experience exploring the Liwa Desert with our guide, Shafeeeq. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. His friendly nature and deep knowledge of the desert made the journey both exciting and memorable.
What really stood out was how attentive he was—he constantly checked in to make sure we were safe and comfortable in the jeep, and he took so much effort to make the ride smooth and enjoyable. On top of that, Shafeeeq turned out to be a fantastic photographer! He captured incredible pictures of us against the golden dunes—moments we’ll treasure forever.
If you’re planning a Liwa desert tour, we can’t recommend Shafeeeq enough. His professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for his guests make the experience truly unforgettable.

Dreamlike experience!!! - This was truly one of the best tours I’ve ever experienced. Our guide, Shafeeeq, picked us up and drove us all the way to the breathtaking Liwa Desert—a place unlike any other, so vast and surreal it felt like stepping onto another planet. We arrived just in time to catch the sunset, and Shafeeeq captured some incredible photos of us against the glowing dunes.
After sunset, we ventured deeper into the desert and were lucky enough to witness a meteor shower while our guides prepared a delicious meal. The atmosphere was magical—sitting around the torchlight, laughing together, it felt straight out of a movie scene.
Since we needed to return to Abu Dhabi that night, Shafeeeq kindly drove us back while others stayed overnight in the tents. We’re so grateful for his thoughtfulness and for making the entire journey unforgettable!

Marvellous Experience - Salim and Faisal hosted us wonderfully. They are excellent guides — driving safely, making jokes, taking beautiful photos and videos for us, and preparing a marvellous dinner and tea. They made sure to maximise our time and give us the best experience possible. We truly enjoyed ourselves under their great care. Marvellous job done. Thank you, Salim and Faisal!

Lacked the culinary experience - Overall well, beautiful experience in the dunes, I expected a more cared for food, even simple but certainly not club sandwich.
