It is peak camping season in the UAE as temperatures continue to drop. Tourists and residents make the most of UAE winter by setting up tents at one of the popular camping spots in Dubai.

Dubai's camping season lasts from October until April. For tourists, this is the best time to step out of the air-conditioned malls, go beyond the glitz and glam of Dubai and experience the raw, ruggedness of the UAE's vast outdoors.
