April is perhaps the last month of the season when it is still comfortable to get out to the desert overnight. There is still no suffocating heat, and the sleeping bag is still not getting wet from high humidity. Explore the best places for spring camping in the UAE - from the beach to the mountain peaks.
Sandy beach in Fujairah
Locals know the popular camping site in Fujairah as the “Sandy Beach”. The name comes from the hotel of the same name, near which tourists often leave cars to pitch a tent at the very edge of the sea. Savages come here with barbecue and hookahs to enjoy the night sea breeze and stunning scenery. To get here, you do not need any special transport or sports training - only a love of outdoor recreation.
Nature reserve Al marmoom
Al Marmoom Wildlife Sanctuary is Dubai's favorite wild vacation spot for tourists from and closest to it. The famous Al Kudra Lakes, where more than 170 species of birds nest, including black swans, can be reached in just half an hour.
The lakes are famous for magnificent landscapes, and in the vicinity you can meet the traditional inhabitants of the desert - gazelles, oryxes and foxes.
These places were chosen by lovers of yoga, meditation and cycling - the first here is waiting for silence and the starry sky, for the second a bicycle trail is built.
Limestone Mountains Mleiha
The Mleiha Mountains remind tourists that once in the desert of the emirate of Sharjah was the sea. This place was chosen by jeep safari organizers. In addition, tourists often come here to drive quad bikes and buggy along the dunes. In general, the mountainous terrain is favorable for camping and is located near the highway. An eco-friendly lodge hotel is being built here, so the number of tourists will only grow.
Oasis Liva
Rubh Al Khali ("empty quarter") is the most majestic desert in the world where you can fully experience the spirit of Arabia. From Dubai, it will take you about four hours to get there, of course, on an SUV - it is better with a large company and with a professional guide.
The large oasis of Liva consists of 50 small oases, spread over an area of 100 km. Many tourists come here to look at the giant sand dune Moreeb Dune, whose height exceeds 300 meters. As a rule, local Arabs organize drifting competitions at it - a very spectacular sight.
The mountains Jebel Jays
Jebel Jays - the highest mountains in the UAE and one of the main attractions of the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. They have long been chosen by lovers of trekking and even climbing - not only hiking trails are laid here, but even the only Via Ferrata in the region is equipped.
In winter, snow sometimes falls in the mountains, and in summer, at the top, where you can make a fire and set up camp, there is a pleasant coolness, a light breeze and absolute silence. And only below - the distant lights of the night city.
Attention! On the territory of all campsites in the UAE, as well as the whole world, a simple rule applies: DO NOT Litter! You can collect all the garbage in bags and take it with you. Protect the environment!
