Bedrocks & Bedouin Living at Desert Glamps in MENA
Bedrooms with skylights, canyon sound baths, and LED belly dances—these are some of the region’s most glamorous glamps.
With the fall season of backed up emails and weather-induced allergies now in full swing, some of us are in desperate need of a remote weekend away in a random desert, where not a single client can find us. And the only solution to that is—an impromptu glamping getaway at any one of these sprawling and sumptuous desert resorts within the MENA region.
Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort
📍Abu Dhabi, UAE
Located on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi in the world’s largest sand desert, this fortress-like palace features private villas within sand dunes, camel rides, falcon shows, Moroccan hammams, and a rooftop restaurant with sweeping desert views.
Scarabeo Camp
📍Agafay Desert, Morocco
Spacious nomadic tents adorned with African mats and Berber carpets, candlelit dinners under the stars, views of the High Atlas Mountains, and refreshing afternoon dips in a serene desert-side pool—this one is the perfect setting for a camping trip that’s all about the finer things in life.
Caravan by Our Habitas AlUla
📍AlUla, Saudi Arabia
Inspired by the travels of the Bedouins, Caravan by Our Habitas features highly-glamped caravans, an outdoor cinema, and canyon sound baths, fostering a communal space for connection among individuals in the natural world.
Nara Desert Escape
📍Dubai, UAE
Situated within a conservation area home to oryxes and gazelles, this escape has everything from a stylish sunset lounge to LED belly dances, fire shows, and live music from oud players and saxophonists.
Remal El Gouna Glamp
📍El Gouna, Egypt
Although it features bedrooms with skylights, private jacuzzis and BBQ areas, this one isn’t just about the glamp, it’s also completely eco-friendly, utilising raw materials such as recycled paper and focusing intently on air quality, including temperature, climate control, ventilation and air circulation.
