Highlights Across the Village

There’s more to take on across Liwa Village, with standout experiences that add a different kind of thrill to every visit.

New

Bungee Jump

Feel the tension build at the edge, then take the leap into a heart-racing free fall before the bungee pulls you back up and sends the adrenaline surging all over again.

New

Climbing Quest

Four lanes, one way up. Each hold on the climbing wall asks for a little more strength, agility and focus.

Skyline

Leave the ground behind and see Liwa from a different angle. The zip line adds speed and height to the moment.

House of Horror

Dark corridors, live actors and Liwa desert legends close in around you. Once you step inside, finding the way out becomes the challenge.

Go Water Kart

From sand to water, the way you drive changes. Jet Ski brings the feel of karting to the water in the middle of the Desert.

Mini Tank Paintball

Once you’re in the tank, every turn becomes part of the game, with obstacles to navigate and targets to take on.

Maze Adventure

Every turn is a decision. Find your way through the maze and make it out before time runs out.
