• Liwa is the name of a vast, almost barren desert region, that extends from the southern part of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
• In the past, Liwa was a lot larger than today, and it was also known as the Bu Fallah desert. This name came from the Bu Fallah tribe, which was, and still is, the largest tribe in the area.
• The Liwa Desert features sand dunes reaching 25-40 feet high and holds some of its country's oldest and most treasured sites.
