Dear Liwa Lovers,

Here we are again closing the season in Liwa and bidding farewell to our camp :)
A big thank you to all our guests, who despite all of Covid restrictions managed to beat all Odds and visit us in Liwa 🙂
The only sad news was the re-location of our operation from the Liwa Hotel during Covid time but hopefully we can re-start in a more positive way in Ocotber this year. Tilal Liwa had approached us as well and we are also looking at strenghning our cooperation for next season. I wish you all the best during summer holidays and have safe trips 🙏🙏🙏

Dear Liwa Lovers,
I hope all of you and your family are well and in good health.
Allow me to update you with the current situation and latest news about Liwa and Rub Alkhali Tourism.
You all remember well that we had our operation based at the Liwa hotel since the last 4-5 years. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the hotel was not in operation for almost one full year, during which time the owners had invested heavily in renovation work with the hope that travel restrictions easing up and allowing tourist to visit Abu Dhabi and Liwa area. However, despite all the efforts undertaken by the UAE and Abu Dhabi in particular, the rule requiring every visitor to undergo a quarantine period had a negative impact and was a real obstacle in promoting and visiting Liwa.
We at Rub Alkhali Tourism, were similarly affected and I was thinking of closing the company last summer especially when I realized that the tourism authorities were not keen on exempting tour companies from licence fees renewals and other related operating costs.
To ad salt to injuries, the new management at Liwa Hotel asked us to move out and relocate elsewhere. This happened recently and you can all imagine the kind of problems I was facing, from finding new location to park our Portable Cabin, hiring transportation, and paying rent for the space. I had released my staff (Badshah & Babu) last February and hope to bring them back once tourism recovers.
So far, I managed to survive by selling some company assets and doing some freelance work in Dubai where I stay with my family.
I am all hope that Expo 2020 will be a savior for all the hospitality industry, and I am looking forward to get involved soon!
As for Liwa, I will still offer the Tag Along tours for owners of 4x4, however I will not be able to offer the full camping package in my camp, due to the absence of staff 😒
Being in Dubai, I have a good team and reliable supplier, who can assist me in organizing camping tours and exclusive dinners within Dubai emirate. Feel free to contact me any time should you have any special request.
Thank you all again for the continuous support and understanding ☺🙏

Dear Liwa Lovers,
Not only we did survive Covid-19, but we manage to keep Rub Alkhali Desert Tourism alive throughout the toughest of times.
My appreciation and gratitude goes out to my very loyal customers who supported my operation all the way through the pandemic and without which i would have had to make dramatic decision about the continuation of our business in Liwa and Western region.
As you all know, summer is knocking on the doors and i will be settling back in Dubai by end of April.
I will continue to offer the 4x4 training courses during summer (early AM and late PM).
A big thank you again to all my guests/visitors and i look forward to a more positive business by next winter.
I wish all of you a pleasant summer and a safe stay.
🙏🙏
