A group of us made the trek to Liwa, which is a 3 hour drive away from Dubai, going past Abu Dhabi, and then turn towards the Saudi border.
We camped at a dune called Moreeb, this is quite close to the border, and also the venue for an annual hill (dune) clmbing event.
This is an area of desert called the 'Empty Quarter', more info here on Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rub'_al_Khali
Anyway, the trip there was a pretty uneventful night time run, except for dodging trucks and Saudi locals in Suburbans loaded to the hilt.
Here is some on board footage from a mate:

Wish I had some more photos to share, because it is a very beautiful area. But to be honest, I was just trying to hold an stop my tyres from sinking into the soft sand most of the time.
Hope you enjoy....
