Liwa Dunes: Barchanoid Dunes & Interdunal Sabkhas



Liwa Dunes Location Map

The arc of the Liwa oasis stretches for nearly 100 kilometres from east to west, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding desert. Due to the availability of water, the area has been settled for many centuries and continues to support a thriving population today. The red dunes and large sabkhas at Liwa are unique landforms in the region.
