Here was our plan: Leave Dubai and head southeast to Abu Dhabi; continue southeast to Tarif; head south to Liwa; go west to Hamim; and then venture north to route 11; back to Dubai. So early last Friday morning, John, Teddy and I got into the Prado and started our adventure!
This is what empty looks like....
This is what empty but beautiful looks like....
This is what empty but beautiful and unbelievable look like.....
This is what we saw all the way down to Liwa....
Here's what the Liwa Oasis looks like....
It was an amazing drive through the Empty Quarter. We saw nothing but sand dunes for miles and miles. We weren't complaining, as each view was more spectacular than the last. We thought we were alone, however, there was evidence that life does exist out there....
It wasn't until we were heading north from Hamim that we finally saw some life...
And then look what appeared on the side of the road.....
And then, a little further down the road, we saw....not one, not two, but an entire parade of camels! I'm not sure where they were going but it looked like they were on a mission! Seeing these camels was the icing on the cake! It made our road trip through the Empty Quarter utterly FANTASTIC!
Suddenly empty didn't look so empty!
