Liwa Oasis
Nestled on the northern edge of the Rub’ al Khali (Empty Quarter) — the largest continuous sand desert in the world — Liwa Oasis is a breathtaking expanse of greenery, history, and culture in the Al Dhafra region of Abu Dhabi, UAE. Stretching over 100 kilometers, this oasis is a lifeline of palm-fringed villages, fertile farmlands, and ancient forts surrounded by towering golden dunes.
Liwa Sign
Standing proudly amidst the golden dunes of Liwa, the DMARK Liwa Sign holds the Guinness World Record for being the tallest landmark sign in the world. Measuring an impressive 23.59 meters (77.39 feet) high, this monumental structure was inaugurated by the Dhafrah Region Municipality (UAE) on 26 January 2024. Located in the heart of the Al Dhafra region, the DMARK Sign serves as a striking modern symbol of Liwa’s identity, blending innovative design with the breathtaking desert scenery of the Empty Quarter (Rub’ al Khali). The massive white letters are visible from afar, making it a must-stop photo spot for travelers exploring the region.
