So, you can be sure that there is a lot of history to hear. The Liwa Oasis is also famous. It’s a series of oases in the north of the Empty Quarter desert. The desert is so massive that it extends from southern UAE and into Yemen and Oman. Tribes who went on to settle in early Abu Dhabi used to live in the Empty Quarter desert.

Those who have taken this tour rave about how beautiful and intriguing it is to watch the scenery as you drive. You’ll go from towering skyscrapers to empty desert scenery. Pay special attention to watching the color of the sand change. As you get deeper into the desert, the sand will change from the yellow sand to a deep, dark orange that’s only found in the desert.
