Secluded Camping Spots in the UAE

Inspired by the landscapes of the UAE — wear the wild side of it

If the popular Al Qudra sites feel too busy, these secluded camping spots in the UAE trade facilities for peace and privacy. They're the quiet desert lakes and hidden corners where you can pitch a tent, watch the sunset over the water and have the stars almost entirely to yourself.

Seclusion comes with responsibility: there are no toilets, bins or shops out here, so plan carefully, carry plenty of water, travel in convoy where the sand gets soft, and leave no trace so these places stay special.
