Liwa Oasis, the historical birthplace of Abu Dhabi's ruling families, is undergoing significant transformation. Lettuces are now being grown here, on the desert's doorstep, and the local palm groves produce some of the bestknown dates in the world.

Never before have these landscapes been so lush.
During the long and tumultuous history of this extraordinary place, man and water have forged a unique bond, bringing life to the midst of the desert.
