Photo taken minutes before sunrise of a lone vehicule travelling the excellent road leading to the highest dune in the area ( at the actual end of that road ) the 287m-high Moreeb Dune .The drive up there passes through the most sublime of sand dunes that are in my opinion best viewed around sunrise and sunset](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6053838/e1e9c0d7-80ca-4c1d-a1aa-1db00601fde9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![As an expat living in the "empty quarter" of Abu Dhabi, the dunes of Liwa are a familiar sight - a fact made true given that my commute takes me through them weekly. The unmarked border between the UAE and Saudi Arabia makes up one of the world's largest sand deserts and is home to some of the tallest sand dunes anywhere. Sure, Moreeb Dune is impressive, but the surrounding landscape and feeling of complete isolation is the real reason to take the 2.5 hour drive from Abu Dhabi. Bring water and don't be afraid to get sandy. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6053838/607b731f-82f5-4629-8692-59b09af848fb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![A special sunset in the Liwa Desert, on the northern edge of Rub Al’ Khali (The Empty Quarter), the world’s largest uninterrupted sand desert. I climbed a high sand dune and was treated to an extraordinary sight. Seated on the cushion that was the soft fine sand, I looked out at the iridescent sand dunes that stretched out far and wide, and watched in awe as the bright beautiful sun finally disappeared into the horizon. http://www.spillingthebeans-ng.com/explore-the-elements #troveon #abudhabi #uae #goldenhour #hiking #bestof5](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/319626929021912918/836cc9f9-a4e6-46a0-ac30-a9bf956217bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Liwa Oasis Where to stay Things to do ### Where to stay in Liwa Oasis ![A special sunset in the Liwa Desert, on the northern edge of Rub Al’ Khali](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/319626929021912918/836cc9f9-a4e6-46a0-ac30-a9bf956217bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=350&h=192&q=medium) ### Mahdar Sahab Discover the restaurants and spas in Mahdar Sahab.
