5 Best Places in UAE for Night Camping

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
