Rainforest Camping Returns to The Green Planet Dubai This Summer
May 30, 2025
A tropical getaway in the UAE? Where else? The Green Planet, Dubai's lush indoor biodome, is bringing back its popular 'Camping in the Rainforest' experience this summer. From May 30th to November 1st, guests can spend the night surrounded by waterfalls, thick tropical greenery, and over 3,000 species of plants and animals — all inside the City Walk attraction.
Running every Friday and Saturday night, the camp kicks off at 7:00 PM and wraps up by 8:00 AM the next morning. Guests can explore the rainforest by torchlight, with expert guides pointing out the nocturnal rhythms of the ecosystem — think fluttering bats, rustling leaves, and animals settling into their nighttime routines.
The experience includes animal encounters, hands-on nature activities, and a torch-lit tour of the biodome. There's a buffet dinner, marshmallow roasting, and a nature documentary screening before campers head to their tents nestled among the trees. The morning wraps up with breakfast at The Green Planet Café and optional feeding sessions with some of the animals.
The overnight camp is limited to 25 people per night, priced at AED 900 for two or AED 1,700 for four. Bookings are available through The Green Planet's official website.
The camping experience is part of The Green Planet's broader educational programmes, designed to build awareness around biodiversity and environmental conservation by giving families a chance to connect with nature — without leaving the city.
Regular daytime visits to The Green Planet will continue as usual throughout the summer.

Customers can now request the pickup and delivery of larger items from point A to point B – Currently available in Dubai and expanding to Abu Dhabi and Amman soon – City-to-city deliveries launching in the coming months Dubai, UAE – August, 2025: Careem announces the launch of 'Box XL,' expanding its popular Careem Box pickup and delivery service to accommodate larger items. Customers in Dubai can now request cars for deliveries, enabling the transportation of items previously too large for standard bike deliveries. The launch of Box XL directly addresses customer demand, as nearly 20% of Careem Box users requested options to send larger items such as home appliances (microwaves, air fryers), computer screens, and larger purchases from marketplace platforms like Dubizzle. Initially launching in Dubai, Box XL will soon expand to Abu Dhabi and Amman, with city-to-city deliveries launching in the coming months. Emad Gharzuddine, GM of Careem Box, commented: 'Careem Box has become the trusted choice for picking up and delivering important items across Dubai, whether it's a forgotten passport before a flight or a home-cooked meal from family. Since launching the service in 2022, we've had over 900,000 different customers use Careem Box in Dubai. With Box XL, we're excited to accommodate larger items, making the service even more convenient and useful for our customers.' In addition to the standard pick-up and delivery service, customers can also request Careem Box captains to purchase and deliver items directly from a chosen location through 'Box Purchase', with purchases capped at AED 350. Customers frequently use this feature for retail purchases or last-minute gifts. Many customers use the service to purchase basic t-shirts from malls. Since launching, Careem Box has seen strong growth driven by varied customer use-cases.
