awesome place I was thrilled to see your photos of the empty quarter. I lived in UAE for 3 years and took 3 trips to Liwa. I find the desert very addictive - it is magnificent and changes so much with the hour of the day and the seasons. Best Wishes, R
Towering Spire This picture is wonderful. Looks so divine - and why not, it is the place where our Almight resides. Prais the Lord ! Amen. Please pray for us. Thanks. Sharline
Even the mail look like empty quarter to me!!!! How I wish one day Allah will grant me time money and wisdom to visit this beautiful place before I finally return back to him. Amin
Avid offroader, I assume you know how to use a GPS or Google Earth. Try this!!!

Yeah a real big dump yard! And good job trampling all the desert bushes in the cool months. Wonder why there are so many fences in a desert where no one lives? If you know any thing about ecology then it isn't hard to see how easy it is to pollute a desert system with just one dump yard and occasional dune bashing. Thanks for your comment nevertheless.
IT IS CLEAN It is not true that Liwa has become the dump yard for chemicals. The area is protected, wild life sanctuaries have been set up (it is normal to see gazzelles and rabbits out there), two hotels are there, oil installations are fenced, and every effort is being made to preserve the environment. I am an avid offroader and we do offroading trips to Liwa during the cool months in winter.
It is a beautiful place and continues to be
I Realized. Hi Navin, Thanks mate. It was about 4 years ago. The board there used to go with a different name back then. I changed it in my newer posts. Thanks anyways :)
Hey Ishida, bad news mate. This region isn't empty anymore. Atleast the places I have been to. Too many oil drilling plants and hotels have sprung up lately. Worst of all its an unofficial dump yard for all the hazardous materials from Abu dhabi and Dubai. Seen too much of chemical dumping happening there. So don't worry, u aren't missing much.
just reasd an articvle about wilfred thesiger in the aramco publication. most impressed! no, i am not courageous enough to explore this "emptyu" region.
SRao: THE ZOO SUCKS! I agree with you on the biting thing mate. I once saw a Gorilla in Al Ain zoo that still haunts me. It was the saddest creature I have ever seen.
The recent PR article from the Zoo says that all the animals have been confiscated and rescued from local population and that why the lack of space!!!! Here is an idea, why not raise some money to send them back to their natural habitat. Instead ask TNT or FEDEX, they would gladly deliver them to whichever country they want for a bit of CSR.
Rescued animals. Pah!
THE ZOO SUCKS!! I visited the zoo as a kid in the mid 90's and every animal in that place had gone crazy...pacing back and forth in the cage or sitting in a slump and staring into space....there was a sloth bear in particular whose face I cannot get out of my head (15 years later!!!)..dubai has all the money in the world for a mall every 10miles but they don't believe in controlling the stray population humanely or investing in a proper sanctuary.....i can only hope that the bad karma associated with these inhumane acts comes back to bite somebody in the nether-regions.....
Horrified I found this info wen lookin 4 bad zoos. This zoo takes the prize. The livin conditions for this zoo are disgraceful and the zookeepers should be ashamed of themselves
