If your family loves to camp, you had better get out there before the temperature gets too high! Take advantage of the tail-end of winter and enjoy the great outdoors and make some memories with your loved ones. We have selected three fantastic camping spots in the UAE and surrounding areas that you might want to try out.
The Rub is the largest sand desert in the world, encompassing most of the southern third of the Arabian Peninsula. The desert covers approximately 650,000 square kilometres (250,000 square miles), including parts of Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE, and Yemen. It is part of the larger Arabian Desert. If you want to experience a traditional Bedouin experience, then this is the spot for you. Enjoy escorted tours, evening camel treks, and a visit to a local farm. There are also some slightly more modern activities to take part in, like sand-skiing and dune bashing. Visit http://bit.ly/1EWzg6f.
Experience camping on sandy beaches inside the sheltered fjords. Enjoy family time on Khasab Beach campsite under the stars in the remote Peninsula in Oman. Book through one of the tour companies and you can enjoy a dhow cruise experience. More information can be found at http://bit.ly/1Dv57xN.
The Hajar Mountains (Arabic for stone mountains) in northeastern Oman and also the eastern UAE are the highest mountain range in the eastern Arabian Peninsula. They separate the low coastal plain of Oman from the high desert plateau, and lie 50 to 100 km inland from the Gulf of Oman Coast. The part that lies in the UAE boasts rugged, steep mountains and breathtaking deep valleys. It is an excellent location to setup camp and also an ideal hiking area. At the peak you will find an abundance of apricots, olives and fig trees. Visit http://bit.ly/1EWyV3c.
