Secret island
If you’ve been in Dubai long enough, the name Moon Island will evoke memories of an incredible getaway. Located around 70km away from the city, the crescent-shaped island is a popular camping and watersports destination for those in the know. Divers can expect to spot a variety of rockfish as well as the larger Arabian barracudas, hammour and snappers. Sky and Sea Adventures Dubai organises diving expeditions starting from AED550, while Arabian Diver hosts seasonal overnight tours for just AED1,100. The trips include barbecue lunches and dinners, and activities such as fishing, snorkelling and scuba diving. After a day of adventure, head to your camping tent and sleep under a blanket of stars.
