About Mujeeb

Mujeeb Rahman is the Senior Manager of Desert Ground Operations at Arabiers Holidays, a licensed travel agency registered with Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism (Trade Licence No. 1176592). He runs the entire desert operation across Abu Dhabi's Al Khatim dunes and the Liwa Empty Quarter (Rub al Khali): the daily evening safaris and their camp programme, overnight camps, private VIP set-ups, and full desert weddings and proposals, built by hand with his own team. His knowledge comes from daily practice, not theory: he has worked these dunes since January 2017, first as a safari guide, then as a senior guide across Liwa and Abu Dhabi, and since 2022 leading the whole ground operation, more than nine years in the sand.

Mujeeb plans the routes, reads the dune faces, briefs and trains the drivers, and selects the sites, from the dune chosen for a proposal's golden-hour light to the overnight camps near Tel Moreeb. He is trained in off-road desert driving at the ADNOC Technical Academy, and the timed itineraries published across Arabiers' desert tour pages, from the evening camp programme to the Liwa overnight schedule, come directly from his field work.

The measure that matters most is independent: guests repeatedly mention Mujeeb by name in verified Tripadvisor reviews of Arabiers Holidays Abu Dhabi, praising his driving, his eye for the best photo spots, and the care he takes of every group, from solo travellers to private desert weddings. A desert safari hosted by the person who plans the routes and builds the camps carries a level of practical insight a standard tour cannot match.

In the Desert with Mujeeb

Building a desert wedding

Al Khatim Desert · Abu Dhabi

Every wedding starts with the dune. I choose it for the golden-hour light, then we build the arch, aisle and florals by hand, my team and I, before the couple ever arrives.

Al Khatim Desert · Abu Dhabi

From the sunset majlis to the royal red carpet, every lantern and cushion is placed before the guests arrive, timed so dinner lands exactly at sunset.

Overnight camps & stargazing

Al Khatim & Liwa

I run the night end to end: camp before dusk, BBQ at 7:30, bonfire and stargazing, then sunrise coffee over the dunes. The desert at night is the part guests never forget.

Deep into Liwa

Rub al Khali · Liwa

Liwa is the real Empty Quarter: 2.5 hours from Abu Dhabi, dunes like Tel Moreeb, and the rare black camels you find nowhere else in the UAE. I have guided these routes since 2020.
