Liwa Desert
The Liwa Desert is located in the north, and the Rub’ al Khali, often known as the Empty Quarter, spans southern Arabia.

Lahbab Desert

Today, 1,000 residents, mainly affluent Bedouins who are connected to Dubai’s royal family, endure the challenges while preserving their traditional lifestyle for visitors to experience.

Bidayer

It stretches from Sharjah to Dubai and is strategically placed along the Hatta Oman Road, making it accessible to everybody.

Sweihan
Sweihan, commonly referred to as “Little Liwa,” is the training ground for aspiring Liwa enthusiasts and borders the Emirates of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain. These deserts are best left to experienced drivers due to the challenging mix of soft sands and big dunes. The Naqrah, a sand mountain, is a famous sight in Sweihan, and people often see them while strolling with their camels over the vast desert.

Jebel Maleihah
Famous for its marine fossils, Jebel Maleihah, also known as “Fossil Rock,” can be found close to Kalba.
