Guided Hikes Through the Dunes
We have been guiding hikes through these dunes since 2017, and we know the best way to walk across the desert. You get the look and feel of trekking alone in the Empty Quarter, with no sign of civilization in view, while quick emergency access stays close enough to get you out fast if we ever need it. The route has been designed to be accessible for most fitness levels and we always have ways to make it shorter or longer, depending on the needs of the group.
Itinerary:
Arrival at 3:00 PM to Liwa
Snacks on arrival and relax in the silence and peace of the desert. Enjoy snacks on arrival! Enjoy a swim in the pool if you are keen!
5:00 PM: Sunset Hike
We set off on our first experience through the dunes just a few hours before sunset to experience walking in the sand for the first time and get lots of incredible photos and videos. We will stop just before sunset and watch it go down over the horizon before walking back in the twilight. When we return, freshen up in the showers or have a swim and get ready for dinner!
7:00 PM: Dinner Prepared by Naz
Our special menu will be prepared and served by Naz complete with appetizers and the incredible food that is made with her touch!
9:00 PM Smors and Campfire
After dinner, get the hoody out because it gets chilly! We will have a campfire, smors making, tea and any after dinner drinks that you want to bring.
Settle in for the night in your glamping tent!
Sunday:
5:00 AM: Sunrise Hike - Short or longer Up to 4 hours
Choose your distance based on how you felt at the sunset hike. Return after sunrise for a short 1 hour hike, or go with the slower group or faster. We will hike through the dunes, into the remote part of the desert where there are no cars, no signs of civilization anywhere. Our hike maximum will be 10KM. We will give you water and snacks for the hike to keep you hydrated and energized.
9:00 AM: Breakfast - prepared by Naz
After burning all of those calories, you will need a full breakfast and Naz will not disappoint! Be ready to eat it all back, then have a swim, relax before a shower to get ready to head home.
11:00 AM: Return to Dubai
