Liwa Crossing - Abu Dhabi - 19-20 Feb 2022

[Gaurav]

It's about time to have another EPIC off-road drive to enjoy the World’s coolest winter in UAE.

And what better way to aim to cross the Liwa Desert from one end to another, yes really...!

Let's experience the magic of Rub’ al Khali (Empty Quarter) the largest uninterrupted desert on Earth!

 

Thanks to the Department of Culture and Tourism of Abu Dhabi to publish an open route to try Liwa Crossing so we can avoid the restricted areas and exits.

 

It will be a 150 - 200 km off-road drive covered within 1-1.5 days through amazing breathtaking views and monstrous dunes of 200-300 meter height, that you have never seen before. Or only seen on star wars.

• The Abu Dhabi section of the Rub' al-Khali (Liwa Desert) was used in location shooting for the desert planet Jakku in the 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens. (Wiki extract)

The Liwa Crossing through Empty Quarter offers a chance to witness nature in its purest form and in itself is a transcendent experience. However, traveling through the largest desert in the world is not something that should be taken lightly.

So we are giving some time ahead for you to plan your two full-day availability of 19 and 20 Feb to experience something that you have never seen before. We plan and hope to finish the majority of the drive on 19 Feb and then pitch a camp to experience the most memorable night under the clear sky in an empty quarter. We plan to hit the tarmac on 20 Feb by 10 AM - 12 PM, so that we all can drive back the same day.

• Get your house permission signed, stamped and locked.
• Get your car ready with all photo and video gear.

And then hit the poll above at which level of drive you "surely" like to join.

Based on the poll result, Liwa Crossing drives will be live on 14 Feb, Mon - Your Best Valentine
