Al Ain to White Sands: New for 2023!

Embark on a captivating two-day, one-night self-drive adventure from the tranquil outskirts of Al Ain to the mesmerizing fringes of the Rub Al Khali, also known as the Empty Quarter. This exhilarating journey will lead you through an ever-changing landscape of stunning sand dunes that showcase the UAE’s natural beauty in all its glory.

Our Al Ain to White Sands guided self-drive expedition is designed for adventurers of all levels, making it the perfect choice for beginners and photography enthusiasts alike. We’ll navigate the picturesque Eastern Part of the Liwa area with an expedition-style approach, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride over moderate terrain.

You’ll be in excellent hands as your convoy is led by a highly experienced and professional offroad driver, guaranteeing your safety and a seamless expedition. Along the way, keep your eyes peeled for the incredible wildlife that inhabits this area, making it an ideal opportunity to disconnect your kids from technology and reconnect with nature.

Marina, our accredited Abu Dhabi Tour Guide, specializes in sharing her deep knowledge of heritage, culture, and nature, adding a rich layer of insight to your journey. To ensure an intimate and personalized experience, we limit the group size to a maximum of six guest cars.

While you’ll need to bring your own 4×4 vehicle and camping gear, we’ve got you covered with a loan of essential equipment, including a walkie-talkie if needed. As night falls, gather around a crackling campfire under a starry sky (weather permitting) and savor a sumptuous BBQ dinner, featuring our renowned camel burgers alongside delectable sides like hummus, moutabel, bread, burgers, and steak. Vegetarian options are also available.

Rise to a tranquil desert morning with a hearty breakfast of pancakes, breakfast bars, tea, coffee, and fruit juice. We typically leave camp around 9:30 AM (weather-dependent, as morning fog may delay our departure), embarking on more offroad driving adventures until around 1:00 PM before returning to the main road.

Get ready to create lasting memories and immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the UAE’s desert terrain on our Al Ain to White Sands guided self-drive adventure.
