A unique summer sleepover

Dubai’s only indoor rainforest, The Green Planet in City Walk, is opening its doors once again for a memorable overnight camping trip.

At Camping in the Rainforest, The Green Planet will be pitching up the tents where guests can enjoy a night’s stay under the tropical bio-dome – home to 3,000 plants and animals.

You will be able to set up camp every weekend on Fridays and Saturdays until October

The experiences

Camping in the Rainforest

Camping in the Rainforest features three themed editions, each offering a different take on the overnight experience.

In June, you have one weekend left to try Jungle by the Moonlight, where overnight campers can wander through the rainforest after dark, listen to the sounds of the night and discover the creatures that emerge after sunset.

In July, Rainforest Rovers, families can get a more hands-on experience. Campers can enjoy a scavenger hunt challenge complete with interactive activities.

Come August, Legends of The Green Planet brings together storytelling, creativity and animal discovery. There will be themed activities and interactive and memorable encounters with jungle creatures.

No matter which month you choose to sleep over, you will get a buffet dinner, a nocturnal biome tour, access to the entertainment centre, a back-of-house tour and animal feeding sessions plus a buffet breakfast.

Tents will be fully prepped with mattresses, sheets, pillows and blankets – so, don’t worry about packing any camping equipment
