Rainforest Camping Returns to The Green Planet Dubai This Summer
Rainforest sleepovers are back at The Green Planet Dubai from May 30th to November 1st, with guided tours, animal encounters, and overnight tents inside the tropical biodome. 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.
