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.
