Arabiers: Eco-Friendly Abu Dhabi Experience That Offers a Peek Into Bedouin History in the Desert
Dubai, 25 November 2022 - Back when deserts were regarded as lonely landscapes and before Abu Dhabi discovered oil, a tribe of desert-dwellers harnessed the barren nature of the desert to their benefit. With camels by day and campfires by night, the Bedouins lived an eco-conscious life by befriending the desert environment. The rapid evolution will not displace travellers' love and fascination for such eco-friendly excursions that offer solace and adventure in the folds of nature. Although not many tour companies promise such low-carbon emission experiences in Abu Dhabi, one such travel firm, Arabiers, is attempting to steer the path and open up possibilities for eco-tourism in the desert.

Tucked away in the western district of Abu Dhabi’s Liwa region is the world's largest uninterrupted sand mass, which is more popularly known as the Empty Quarter. Don't let the name throw you off from trying the most environmentally friendly desert adventure tour organized by Arabiers, a prominent UAE-based tour operator company.
The staff at Arabiers notes that many of their visitors who choose their UAE travel packages adore both the glitz and glamour of Abu Dhabi and the adventures of the expansive desert dunes. Abu Dhabi contributes its fair share of opulence, exquisite architecture, and desert attractions to the UAE.
About Rub Al Khali
Spanning a whopping 650,000 square kilometres, this sandy landmass has only minor areas belonging to the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Yemen. The major share of the desert is situated in the South-Eastern part of Saudi Arabia. Its location atop a structural basin has contributed immensely to the landscape of the Rub Al Khali desert.

Zero-footprint Tour
Considered an almost zero-carbon footprint experience, Arabiers’ Rub Al Khali tour swaps out high-carbon emission activities like dune bashing for natural desert rides. Because off-roading is required to reach the desert, the emission levels of each vehicle are constantly monitored. There will also be no camel riding to avoid mistreating and injuring any animals. Arabiers' eco-conscious approach is slowly seeping into desert excursions so that visitors are not only mindful of the environment while enjoying themselves but will also get the chance to truly experience how the bedouins lived in the desert. The thoughtful curation of each experience ensures that visitors get a true understanding of Abu Dhabi's history.
Liwa tours activities
Visitors to Liwa who want to schedule a desert excursion should make sure they choose a local safari guide who is skilled at manoeuvring over the tall dunes and properly balancing the vehicle to avoid any accidents during the tour. Arabiers uses insured and rollover-protected land cruisers for all desert tour to Liwa excursions as part of their eco-friendly tour package.
