Natural Escapes & Outdoor Wonders   

Dubai offers desert reserves and eco-zones that are immaculate and allow nature speaks the loudest, besides the activity within the town. These safe spaces are how people actually experience a different side of the emirate that almost never features in the pamphlets; a reflection of lakes, quiet through dune lands, oryx roaming, and dark skies at night. It is the perfect contrast to the shopping malls and skyscrapers.

Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve 

Spanning almost 225 square kilometres, the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve is 5% of the total emirate. It was the first national park of the UAE and currently the sole region where indigenous fauna such as the Arabian oryx are allowed to wander about freely.

Tourists can experience it through eco certified desert safaris, wildlife drives, or camel treks. The reserve maintains luxury and sustainability by having tented camps, falconry performances, and stargazing excursions operated under stringent environmental controls.

Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve & Qudra Lakes  

Al Marmoom, overseen by the Dubai Municipality, is the UAE's largest unfenced nature reserve. It is located just outside of Al Qudra and is home to hundreds of species of birds, desert foxes and seasonal flamingos, especially around the human made Qudra Lakes.

Al Marmoom is a great place for sunrise scenery, star gazing at night, or watching the dunes during the day in a friendly picnic environment. There is no commercialization of camping, there are cycling routes, and the views are calm and away from the main part of the desert. Further, it's an ideal escape for anyone looking for the peace of nature without travelling far from the city.
