Time For A Desert Adventure
What's On Dubai|February 2020
When it comes to the UAE, there’s one place that demands our attention more than any other: the desert. It makes up more than 90 per cent of the country and it’s the biggest outdoor adventure playground you could imagine…
Time For A Desert Adventure

DESERT CAMPING

Warm temperatures and little rain means you can camp with less equipment and preparation than in most other countries. But, despite camping in the UAE being generally pretty safe, there are several safety aspects to consider before you venture off.

Firstly, make sure that the car you’re taking is in very good condition before you leave, and that it is capable of tackling all the roads, tracks and dunes that you plan to drive on. Check the tyre pressure, fluid levels, and ensure that you have tow ropes, a fire extinguisher, tyre pressure gauge, jack, shovel, extra fuel and a basic tool kit. Always have a fully charged mobile and let people know where you’re planning to camp, too.

AL QUDRA

Al Qudra is entry-level UAE camping. Head towards the Love Lakes, but don’t go into them. It’ll be crowded with families. Instead, drive on past the Love Lakes entrance on your left, and past where the Al Qudra cycling track winds around either side of a tree. Keep driving for another five to 10 minutes, then either park your car by the side of the road and walk in, or empty your tyres to around 19psi and drive in.

FOSSIL ROCK

This is a fun camping spot, very close to the Mleiha archeological site. It’s especially great for kids who can explore the marine fossils that can be found on the rock’s slopes. The presence of iron oxide gives the sand in this area a lovely rich, orange-red colour. Camp near the peak and wait for the stunning sunsets to take hold.

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER

This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly. You’ve never had it so cool.
