Liwa Oasis Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Liwa Oasis

Liwa Oasis is the historical home of the Nahyan family, the leaders of Abu Dhabi emirate and the UAE. It was historically, and remains, a date-palm cultivating region for Bedouin tribes, especially the Bani Yas. The cultivated palm forests may come as a surprise in the middle of the desert. Liwa is at the edge of the UAE's most impressive desert region, when considering the size of the dunes. It is a great starting point for self-led or pre-arranged dune-bashing and other desert safaris. It may also be a good place to learn more about Bedouin culture, though most of the settlements are by now built of concrete, and walled off to the rest of the world.
