Sports and camping gear hire in the UAE

Updated 31 October 2026

Sports and camping gear hire in the UAE usually costs from about AED 30 to AED 60 a day, depending on the item and the package. For an exact price in your city, send a request on BlaBlaPrice: the AI will look through local rental offers and show the prices and businesses it finds.

What the price depends on

Approximately, according to sellers' websites, October 2026, a basic camping set starts at AED 30 a day, and hiking or water-sports packages start at about AED 60 a day. Prices are quoted per day, so tell the seller how many days you need the gear.

• the item and its specification: tent size and number of people, sleeping bag comfort rating, bicycle or kayak type
• quantity and the hire period
• delivery, setup and pickup, when the seller offers them
• any deposit or collateral held against the equipment

Night camping permits and ID checks

Local guidance for night camping trips in Dubai or Sharjah says to carry the official permit, because fines can reach AED 5,000 without one. Some rental operators ask for a valid Emirates ID as verification, and some restrict certain packages to UAE nationals, so check before you book.

Season: when to hire

The desert climate brings a very hot summer from May to September, which makes tent camping and daytime hikes hard. The mild winter from November to March is the comfortable time for outdoor trips, so October is a sensible month to book gear for the cooler months ahead.

Delivery and what to write in your request

Some operators deliver, set up and collect the gear, so you can skip the trip to a shop. Ask whether delivery reaches your city: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain. Give sizes in metric units: tent floor in metres, sleeping bag rating in degrees Celsius, bicycle frame in centimetres and weights in kilograms. Say how many days you need the gear, and ask whether a deposit is held and how it is returned.

Getting offers through BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the gear, the dates and your city in your own words in the chat, and add a photo if it helps. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their price and terms, while your contact details stay hidden until you decide whom to contact.
