we got what we came for - We did the Liwa overnight safari early January 2024. After having driven through the same dunes on our own 15 years ago during when when we were based in the UAE, we wanted to show this unique place and share the desert experience with our children (12y and 14y). Coming this time as tourists, we had no choice but to use the services of a local agency. We must say we got exactly what we came for: a genuine 24 hours tour across Liwa we’ll never forget. Ref equipment and comfort we could not expect more; tents, mattresses, chairs, quantity and quality of food, fire at night under the stars,… nothing was missing. But it takes an orchestra conductor to put the score into music. Basith is the (brilliant) one. His 20 years experience allows him to go on his own in the dunes, so we were completely alone, not in a convoy of several cars. Upon demand , he had a sporty approach for the kids going up and down the dunes to have or a smooth one when we wanted to enjoy and relax. Basith has a perfect reading of the dunes so he could take us at the top of the Liwa dunes for the sunset. At the camp, Basith did almost, if not all. While the kids preferred to go sandboarding and were admiring the sunset, he was kind enough to set up all tents, prepare all the meals. I tell you…. 5 stars service !! we could not expect more than what Liwa Adventures and Safari arranged for us. I wish many of you can enjoy the same experience. We’ll definitely come back.

Out Standing Tour, Perfectly organized - Liwa overnight safari was perfect from the pick up until the drop off!! Ibrahim with his great driving skills, organization talent and know how took care of us during this adventure. We had an outstanding tour and would recommend it to everyone! During the tour Ibrahim not only informed us about the life in the desert but let us experience the incredible dune bashing as well. We stop for a lunch break at Liwa Oasis and saw the most beautiful sunset at Moreeb Dune, after a nice dinner around the campfire and a good sleep in the tent we have been driven back safely to our hotel the next day. Thanks to Ibrahim and Liwa Adventure Tours & Safari LLC for these unforgettable experience!!

Memorable Desert Safari with Liwa Adventures - The Desert Safari including the overnight stay with Liwa Adventure tours and safari was really amazing. The package was including the overnight stay in the desert in tents along with the following day breakfast. We were lucky to have Basith as our guide as he was quite helpful and enthusiastic in guiding us throughout the trip. We had a wonderful drive through the desert and we also stopped at a couple of places to visit the camel farm and also the oasis. The best experience about this trip was the overnight stay with bonfire, BBQ and the desert night life ambience. We were provided with sleeping air mattresses and felt very comfy. The hospitality provided by the Liwa team were very nice and especially the crew were very friendly. The next day when we woke up the breakfast was ready. After having breakfast, we started our journey back. Basith had also helped us to take us photos and to capture this wonderful experience during our journey through desert. I give Liwa adventures a great rating because of the wonderful experience which they provide to their customers. Hope to come back again in the future to relive it once again.
