The oasis

The Liwa oasis extends like an arc for 150km from west to east and is a major centre for date farming, with endless plantations of date palms growing everywhere in the oasis. The oasis can be crossed by driving on a well built road. There are about 50 villages in the Liwa oasis. The main village in the Liwa oasis is Mezaira'a, which is connected by a motorway to the coast and Abu Dhabi. South of the Liwa oasis lies the Arabian desert with plenty of sand dunes.
