Tour Overview
This is your chance to conquer the Empty Quarter. Our Full-Day Liwa Self-Drive Safari is not a passive passenger tour; it's a hands-on, 4x4 adventure that puts you in the driver's seat. Journey from Abu Dhabi to the legendary Rub Al Khali, the world's largest uninterrupted sand desert, and home to the Middle East's tallest dunes.
This is a guided convoy adventure, perfect for both beginners and experienced off-roaders. After an introductory desert driving lesson from our expert instructors, you'll take the wheel of your own 4WD vehicle. You'll follow our professional lead driver and be supported by a marshal, ensuring a safe, secure, and adrenaline-pumping journey. A scenic picnic lunch in the dunes completes this ultimate off-road experience.
