5 Best Places in UAE for Night Camping

I am born and living in UAE for more than 35 years and working with desert tourism groups. Night camping in UAE is one of the most peaceful experiences you can enjoy.

Every winter season, thousands of residents and tourists go desert camping because:

✔ Night temperature drops 8–15°C cooler
✔ UAE deserts are among the safest in Middle East
✔ Clear sky visibility reaches 90%+ on good nights
✔ Perfect for couples, families, and women travelers
