Two and a half hours south of the city the last farms give out and the Rub' al Khali begins — 650,000 square kilometres of dune sea stretching into Saudi Arabia and Oman. This is not the tourist desert; it is the real one, and it rearranges your sense of scale.
We run the Liwa crescent: date plantations and old forts, the edge dunes near Tal Mireb, lunch in the oasis, and serious dune driving where the sand allows. Expect a long, extraordinary day; bring a full camera battery.
