Looking for a break from the fast-paced city life? Mleiha glamping offers the perfect desert escape, just an hour from Dubai. You’ll stay in traditional-style tents, sip on Arabic coffee or karak tea, and enjoy a night sky so clear that planets like Saturn and Jupiter become visible.
The experience at Mleiha goes beyond your typical hotel stay. With no access to charging points inside your tent, you’ll make an intentional break from the digital world. But don’t worry, there are power outlets in the communal area where you can hang out with others, play board games, and have a good time.
In the evenings, the on-site restaurant serves up delicious dishes in a cozy atmosphere with Arabic music playing softly in the background.
The desert sky here is a dream for stargazing. With little light pollution, Mleiha offers an incredible view of the stars, planets, and even meteor trails. Don’t miss the guided stargazing sessions, where you’ll learn all about the constellations and how Bedouins used the stars for navigation.
Looking for a bit of adventure? Try archery, explore the desert on a hike, or even go cave exploring. And you might just spot some gazelles or camels along the way!
