 Bulletin 8 - July 1979: Development Anomalies in the Bedouin Oases of Al-Liwa
Thus, one of the main characteristics of the Liwa and the country to the south of it is the obvious difficulties its internal geography presents to communications.
The Liwa differs from the tracts to the south in that a certain amount of sweet water can be found, while the ground water in the Batn al-Liwa and beyond, although often found within a few feet of the surface of the gravel plain, is very salty, often to the point of saturation.
It is the socio-economic center for the whole of Al Dhafrah, the desert that is bounded by the mountain foreland of the Hajar range in the east, the Subkhat Matti in the west, the Rub al Khali in the south, and the coastal flats of the Gulf in the north.

 Liwa checks out his prospects at Morrisons   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Liwa was immediately referred to Interwork, Remploy’s specialist recruitment agency, which this year will help 4,500 disabled people find jobs.
In just two weeks, Liwa’s needs were assessed by Remploy Interwork; he was given vital training in applying for a job and he so impressed the interview panel at Morrison’s that he was offered a job there and then.
Now several months later, Remploy Interwork continues to offer support to Liwa to ensure his job is not adversely affecting his health, and Morrison’s has structured a shift pattern so that Liwa is not required to sit at the checkouts for long periods.
