If you are not ready or able to make any travel plans, at least you will have a chance to get away and be with people. As we learned from our last retreat, you need it more than you think. We feel our community needs this escape now more than ever and have decided to change it up a bit to more can enjoy this much needed escape.

LIWA DESERT REVIVAL WEEKEND — EVENT DESCRIPTION

Disconnect. Breathe. Revive.

Trade the city for open sky and ancient sand. The Liwa Desert Revival Weekend is a two-day adult immersion designed to reset your nervous system, restore your body, and reconnect you to yourself — in one of the most dramatic desert landscapes on earth.

Set deep in the Liwa dunes of the Empty Quarter, this is not a standard overnight trip. We've combined the most powerful wellness practices — cold exposure, breathwork, and movement — and brought them into nature, where they work best. We have our ice baths already in Liwa ready to go! Along with the pool which is always at the perfect temperature, and always refreshing.

We’re also adding a slip n slide. For adults and kids. Just Because. Its fun.

What's Included:

• Ice plunge cold water immersion at sunset after our trek — reset your nervous system and flood your body with natural energy

• Guided Wim Hof-style breathwork session — reduce stress, improve focus, and experience a natural high

• Sunrise yoga flow on the dunes — restore mobility, calm the mind, and move with intention in an unforgettable setting

• Guided sunset dune walk — explore the towering sand mountains of the Rub' al Khali as the light turns gold

• Desert overnight under the stars — sleep in the quiet of one of the world's most remote and beautiful places

• Nourishing meals and hydration provided throughout

The Experience:

Arrive Friday afternoon as the desert heat softens. Your first session begins at golden hour — a breathwork practice in the open air as the dunes glow around you. Sleep deeply in the silence of the desert. Wake before sunrise for your ice plunge and yoga flow. Leave Sunday feeling lighter, clearer, and genuinely restored.

Event Details:

• Level: All welcome — no experience required, from families to singles, all are welcome.

• Duration: 3pm → 11 am

• Location: Hameem, Liwa, Abu Dhabi (approx. 4 hours from Dubai — transport from Dubai available)

• Group size: Small group, maximum 20 participants

• Guides: All-female, wilderness-certified team

We celebrate the Closing Chapter of the Season! As the desert begins to warm and another Liwa season draws to a close, this retreat marks our final return to the dunes before summer arrives.

Since 2017, Liwa has been the heart of UAE Trekkers — a place where strangers become friends, where the noise of the city fades, and where the vast stillness of the Empty Quarter reminds us how simple and grounding life can feel off the grid.

This finale retreat is not about distance or difficulty. It is about presence, connection, and experiencing the desert one last time before the season ends.

More than a trip, Liwa is a retreat — an intentional escape from the city into vast landscapes, quiet evenings, and shared moments that stay with you long after the weekend ends.

This experience is designed to help you slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the raw beauty of the Liwa dunes in a way that feels both adventurous and deeply restorative.

At sunrise, we return to the dunes when the desert feels most peaceful — soft light, cool air, and the quiet clarity that only early mornings in Liwa can offer — followed by breakfast and one final moment to soak in the experience before heading home.
