Umm Al Quwain is quietly stepping into the spotlight with something refreshingly different — a destination where engines roar by day and campfires glow by night. The emirate has announced a new project combining motorsports, camping, and outdoor recreation, designed to attract both adventure enthusiasts and casual travellers seeking a change from the usual city escapes.
This new addition aims to position Umm Al Quwain adventure tourism as a key player in the UAE’s growing outdoor and activity-based travel scene. Beyond being a leisure spot, it’s part of a larger plan to diversify the emirate’s appeal and celebrate its natural terrain.
Motors, camping and more
The destination will feature multiple zones tailored to different types of visitors. Motorsport fans can look forward to dedicated racing and off-road circuits that meet professional standards while remaining accessible to the public. For campers, well-equipped areas will offer space to pitch tents, relax under the stars, and enjoy the tranquillity of the desert.
To round out the experience, the project includes recreation areas, cultural spaces, and event zones that combine entertainment with comfort. Visitors can expect services, shaded rest areas, and food options designed to make every visit easy and enjoyable.
More than entertainment: a lifestyle destination for speed, adventure, and relaxation.
Umm Al Quwain is the perfect fit
Unlike the bustling cities of Dubai or Abu Dhabi, Umm Al Quwain has the space, calm, and natural setting ideal for outdoor adventure. Its open desert and coastal stretches provide the right balance between thrill and serenity.
Local tourism authorities aim to create a hub that appeals to youth, families, and adventure lovers alike. By developing motorsports and camping facilities, the emirate is building on its strengths, wide landscapes, a relaxed pace, and a growing community of explorers looking for authentic UAE experiences.
This initiative also complements the UAE’s national tourism strategy, which focuses on expanding beyond luxury resorts to include sustainable, experiential travel. For Umm Al Quwain, it’s a chance to attract new visitors and investments while keeping its identity rooted in nature and culture.
