From overnight camps to tropical bio-domes, Top Spots Dubai shares the best eco-activities that you can pay to experience in Dubai.
1. Desert Safari by Platinum Heritage
Platinum Heritage is committed to the preservation of the culture and heritage of the UAE. They aim to share knowledge of the region’s history and culture through immersive tours and trips with a focus on education and accurately honouring the Bedouin way of life in the past. They are the only Desert Safari Company to have been awarded the Green Tourism Award by Dubai Tourism. They achieve environmentally-friendly safaris in multiple ways including the removal of dune bashing (which damages flora and fauna) from their programming, the use of LED lights and solar panels that support energy efficiency, the elimination of disposable and single-use materials where possible and the reduction of fuel usage.
2. Sonara Camp
The desert Sonara Camp offers an immersion in the region’s desert culture and landscape. The restaurant serves up a fine-dining menu with live entertainment while desert activities include drumming, sand-boarding and archery as well as astronomy lessons. The Sonara Camp is both eco-friendly and sustainable. Their materials and products are ethically sourced while energy is solar-powered and there is a zero-waste policy. Overnight stays are available at The Nest with a shuttle service between Sonara and The Nest.
3. Green Planet, City Walk
Green Planet takes guests deep into the heart of the Amazon. The bio-dome, situated in City Walk Dubai, just outside of downtown Dubai encloses a living, breathing tropical rainforest which provides the ultimate opportunity to discover the rainforest ecosystem. Green Planet is home to more than 3000 species of plant and animal life. Tread between the trees and make your way up across three floors, through the sweeping canopies and meet toucans, turtles, sloths, and macaws on the way.
