1. Al Qudra’s Lakeside Camping

These 5 Camping Spots in Dubai Are a Must-Visit

How do we not start with the OG camping spot in Dubai? Just an hour’s drive from Dubai International Airport and not too far from the city, this man-made oasis is a camper’s paradise. If you love scenic views and wildlife spotting, this one’s for you. Pitch your tent by the lake, soak in the serene vibes and take a stroll along the shore while enjoying the crisp winter breeze. This season is the best time for wildlife sightings – if you’re lucky you might spot desert foxes or some of the 170 species of birds, including the Insta-famous flamingos. And while you’re here, don’t miss out on exploring the heart-shaped Love Lakes, a dreamy spot that takes the aesthetics up a notch.

2. Half Desert Dubai

Itching to pitch your tent at a secluded spot away from the city? If you fancy a truly off-the-grid experience, Half Desert is where you need to be. Think eerie, half-buried roads and endless dunes – this spot is a favorite among off-road enthusiasts.  At night, the lack of city lights means you get an uninterrupted view of the stars, which is just ideal for stargazing. But be warned, the rental camping fee for this spot has spiked from Dh 100 per hour last year to Dh 300 per hour now, so plan accordingly!

3. Lahbab Desert

Dreaming of a chill getaway from the city grind? Lahbab Desert, known for its epic red dunes, is the ultimate camping escape. Whether you’re climbing Pink Rock or tackling Big Red (a massive 300-foot dune), there’s no shortage of thrill. Adventure enthusiasts can get their adrenaline fix with quad biking or sandboarding – rentals are available on-site. Trust us, riding the dunes is a total rush! No wonder a six-hour dune experience in Dubai’s Lahbab desert has bagged the number one spot on Tripadvisor’s Best of the Best Bucket List for two years in a row.

4. Suhaila Lake, Hatta
