Go a little past the town of Madinat Zayed, past the last homely house, and you'll be in dune country.
We followed our (more intrepid) friends there this weekend, driving into the desert in search of a quiet, empty place to camp. Steerforth was game.
Nick was pretty game, too.
With significant coaching, he made it up to our campsite....
...on the third...
...or fourth try.
We didn't count too carefully.
Relieved, we set up our tents (check out our fancy green sand tent!), and discovered that we had the dunes to ourselves.
Liwa is tremendous. Alone in the dunes, a few hundred meters away from our campsite, the desert was ours, and it was empty. We lay in the sand as it cooled down, and watched sun set and the stars pop out of the sky.
We've never seen so many.
