Liwa Village — The Desert’s Grand Stage

Part of Liwa International Festival

We live it. We love it.

Highlights Across the Village

From horror and water adventures to climbing and bungee jumping, discover some of the experiences waiting for you across Liwa Village.

New

Bungee Jump

A moment at the edge, then the drop. Bungee Jump brings free fall and rebound together against the open Liwa landscape.

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 Liwa.

Mini Tank Paintball

Drive around the obstacles, watch your opponent and choose when to aim. In Mini Tank Paintball, the plan is part of the battle.

Maze Adventure

Collect the cards, find the key and make every turn count. The real test is getting out before time runs out.
