The Empty Quarter

A private camp in the Empty Quarter sits deep in the Liwa dunes, with your own staff and nothing on the horizon but sand and sky. The Desert Camp journey, a 3–4 day point of departure, is built around days in the dunes and the silence of the Rub' al Khali, the largest sand desert on earth. Forest Travel arranges the camp privately, and your advisor reshapes the journey entirely around you.

Yes. Falconry at first light is a signature moment of a private Empty Quarter journey, when the desert is still cool and gold. The Falconer's Journey, a 4–5 day point of departure, pairs this ancient art with dune drives and the living traditions of the Bedu. Forest Travel arranges the falconers privately and weaves them into a single, seamless journey through the Liwa dunes.

A Desert Honeymoon in the Empty Quarter centres on a dune suite, a private dinner and a sky full of stars for two, over 5–6 days as a point of departure. Its defining moment is dinner under the stars: a table set on a dune at dusk, the Milky Way overhead and the silence total. Forest Travel arranges the dune tables privately, and your advisor shapes every detail around you.

The best time in The Empty Quarter is shaped less by a calendar month than by the hours of the desert day. Falconers work at first light, when the desert is still cool and gold. Dinners are set on a dune at dusk, with the Milky Way overhead and the silence total. Forest Travel arranges the private camps, falconers and dune tables, and your advisor shapes the timing entirely around you.

Private journeys to The Empty Quarter run from 3–4 days to 5–6 days. The Falconer's Journey is 4–5 days. The Desert Camp is 3–4 days and the Desert Honeymoon 5–6 days in the Liwa dunes. Dunes & Family is 3–5 days. Each is a point of departure rather than a package, and your Forest Travel advisor reshapes the length entirely around you.

Yes. Forest Travel arranges private journeys to The Empty Quarter: a camp deep in the Liwa dunes with your own staff, falconers at first light, and dinner on a dune at dusk under the Milky Way. Its journeys, from desert camps to honeymoons and family trips, are points of departure, not packages. Your advisor reshapes them entirely around you and weaves every moment into a seamless journey.

A private journey to the Empty Quarter starts from around US$1,000 per person per night, so the 3–4 day Desert Camp starts from around US$3,000 per person. The Desert Honeymoon, with a dune suite and a private dinner under the stars, starts from around US$1,000 per person per night. Your own camp staff, falconers and dune tables move the total, which your advisor sets with you. Forest Travel's planning fee is US$250 per itinerary.

Yes, and most guests do. The Empty Quarter journeys run three to six days in the Liwa dunes, so they sit naturally beside a few days in Abu Dhabi, for the Louvre after dark and the Grand Mosque at dawn, or in Dubai, for sky residences and a superyacht along the Palm. All three are best in the cooler months, and your advisor links them into a single journey.
