Liwa is an oasis in the south of Abu Dhabi, close to the Saudi border and is on the northern edge of the Rub Al Khali desert (or Empty Quarter). The great attraction of this area is the emptiness on the desert and the height of the dunes. It an easy 3 hour drive from Dubai along good roads. Having spent New Year in Dubai watching the fantastic fireworks…. 
…we set off about 11.30 on the 1st to meet up with the Carnes and the Audrestchs en route. We followed The Auds into the desert and after a sticky patch or two we finally found a nice camp spot late afternoon. tents up and up to the top of a dune to watch the sunset. 
It also involved some jumping as we discovered we were in an area of Singing Dunes… 
Evening entertainment involved food, a few drinks and some strange action games….!
