Camping Adventure in Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve

Our signature Sand Sherpa Special Reserve is the only camping experience in the UAE that allows you to enter the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR) in your own car, under the expert guidance of Sand Sherpa's off-road experts. Your experience begins at the DDCR Margham Gate, where Sand Sherpa's lead guides will brief you on reserve driving etiquette as you venture into the 225-square-kilometre protected area. During a scenic drive on a specially prepared track to camp, participants are encouraged to spot and identify desert life. Forget glamping; this is authentic desert camping, but complete with showers and bathroom facilities. In the morning, your camp leader will take participants on a hawk walk through an ancient ghaf tree forest, where we identify tracks that have appeared overnight around the camp and everyone has a turn walking with – and flying – our trained bird of prey.
