Champagne on the Moreeb Dunes
An outdoor Arabic seating setup on the dunes for a champagne toast as the sun sets over the Rub' al Khali.
A romantic evening in the Empty Quarter
This tour is built around a single sunset moment, sipping champagne in the golden desert, but the road there is an adventure of its own. After pickup, your dune driving guide takes you into the Rub' al Khali for a nature desert drive, with stops at the Liwa camel farm to photograph the region's black camels (camel riding is not included) and the Liwa Fort, where the terrace gives views across the surrounding dunes.
The main event is Tel Moreeb: 30 to 45 minutes of dune bashing up the 50 degree incline to the 300 metre summit, with sandboarding worked in along the way. As sunset approaches, the tour settles into an outdoor Arabic seating setup on the Moreeb Dunes for the champagne itself, watching the light change over the desert. Lunch or dinner at Qasr Al Sarab can be added afterward for an additional charge if you want to extend the evening.
