Desert adventurers, it’s time to gear up because the Liwa International Festival, a.k.a. Moreeb Dune 2025, is back, bringing all the sand-spinning, adrenaline-pumping action to Al Dhafra from 13 December 2024 to 4 January 2025.

 

Picture this: roaring engines, epic races, and plenty of family-friendly fun, all under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Set at the legendary Moreeb Dune – the UAE’s tallest dune, towering an impressive 300 metres – this year’s event promises a wild lineup of motorsport magic.

From high-speed bike drag racing and Monster Jam trucks to dune-busting buggy races and the famous Hill Climb Championship, there’s no shortage of thrills!

Mark New Year’s Eve for a festival finale like no other, with a fireworks extravaganza, a live concert, and the much-awaited Hill Climbing showdown!

The excitement kicks off 13 December with a two-day car exhibition, followed by action-packed races and show-stopping stunts all month.
