A 30-minute drive from Downtown Dubai, Sonara Camp offers a stylish yet relaxed atmosphere, complete with hammocks, snug seating areas and twinkling lights. Complementing a fine dining menu, featuring dishes like creamy vegetable risotto and roasted rack of lamb, is plenty of themed entertainment. From archery to fire displays to an interactive hawk show, there's something for every age and taste to enjoy. The eco-camp is nestled in the heart of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, so you'll also have the chance to spot local wildlife such as oryx and gazelles.
Book dinner and stay for breakfast at a gorgeous glamping spot
Book a table at MESA Terrace, part of the Terra Solis magical desert oasis retreat and dine on a poolside deck surrounded by dunes. The food here is designed to be shared and features Mediterranean inspired dishes with ingredients from local farmers and producers. Make a night of it and book a glamping experience in one of the tents or lodges – the perfect way to unwind and relax in an environment that feels far away from busy city life.

After taking your seat in the traditional tent, enjoy a delightful meal while being regaled with live Arabic music and expert falconry demonstrations.
