Dubai: Sherpa's Overnight Camp in the Dubai Desert Reserve

Experience Dubai's first and only true eco-adventure in a nature reserve

Sherpa Camp is based in the wilderness area of Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve - a 225-square-kilometre area that has been protected for 23 years with very restricted access. Sand Sherpa is the only company permitted to operate a camp in this area. Adventurers stay in private locations throughout undulating dunes and amidst trees, but within easy access to bathroom facilities and our main camp area, where dinner and breakfast are served.

Each camping trailer is equipped with a penthouse suite rooftop tent, outdoor sofa, firepit, cooler, barbeque grill and so much more! Guests (who book city transfers) are transferred between their hotel/residence and camp by a Sherpa Guide and once they enter the reserve, they enjoy a scenic drive on our specially prepared off-road track to camp. Our guides provide unique insight into the natural flora and fauna as part of the safari drive into camp.

Bush meals are prepared for campers, including salad, grilled vegetables, fire-cooked burgers and fresh oven-made pizza, while bedding is also ready in their tents.

An evening nature walk is optional with our camp leader, while on the morning of departure, participants are also invited to participate in a hawk walk to identify animal tracks that have appeared overnight. Each guest is invited to experience the thrill of flying our hawk.

Saturday camps include the option to join a nomad cooking workshop around a traditional three-stone fireplace.

Note: Sand Sherpa makes a donation to Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve for each participant attending an adventure in this very special area.
