List of things to do in Dubai

Dubai has the glitziest, the widest, and the deepest of everything. From the world’s tallest building to a glamorous nightlife to extravagant shopping destinations, this place has it all. A retreat of stellar hotels, world-renowned restaurants and frankly peculiar attractions has become synonymous with Dubai. Nestled in a dessert, this emirate has a reputation for being host to a gamut of extravagant experiences. For the adventure seeker however, Dubai also has something special to offer. Travelers often list camping and off road as one of the best things to do in Dubai.

Camping in Dubai dessert: There are some epic desert locations around the world and the UAE's slice of the Rub Al Khali is as spectacular as any of them. Anyone seeking a memorable adventure should make a two or three-day trip to experience the beguiling lunar landscape around Liwa. At night, get a campfire going and shoot the breeze under clear starry skies. Camping in Dubai is terrific; a number of choices and the weather make it great. For a desert camping location perfect for beginners that's close to Dubai, try Shwaib where you can drive meters off a track to access hidden campsites. 

Off-road UAE for adventurers: You can try some off roading while you are in the UAE. Hit Emirates Road heading north, and take the Al Dhaid Road (E88) towards Masafi. You’ll find a maze of wadis and tracks to explore on foot, in the car or by mountain bike. If you’re prepared for a longer drive and are maybe planning two nights out of the city, try the northern approach to Musandam from Al Rams. Off-road UAE can be fun if you have the hunger and zest for adventure and the right equipment. Jebel Shams is the highest mountain in Oman and is an excellent base camp known as Jebel Shams Heights

Places for camping in Dubai: Jebel Ali Beach and Ghantoot is one of the most popular locations for Dubai campers and it does get fairly busy. If you go to Oman through Ras Al Khaimah towards the Mussandam Peninsula there are also some great inland and beach spots. If you travel towards Hatta then you can find some beautiful camping locations in the sand dunes along the way. Al Dhafra Beach is another great spot as there have been sightings of sea turtles and flamingoes in this area. Camping in Dubai can thus be a fun and amazing experience.
