Dubai Municipality has announced the launch of the region’s first integrated recreational vehicle (RV) route, introducing a coordinated network of RV stations, serviced parks, and connected road-trip routes across the emirate. The initiative aims to expand nature-based tourism and offer new outdoor experiences for residents and visitors.
Under the plan, Dubai Municipality will develop core infrastructure and set the regulatory framework that allows private developers and operators to build and manage RV routes and dedicated parks. The approach is intended to attract investment, broaden tourism offerings, and support the growth of an RV tourism sector in Dubai.
The route will link mountain, beach, and desert environments through a unified system of designated stops and parks, allowing travelers to access varied natural landscapes within a single, well-serviced network.
Bader Anwahi, Chief Executive Officer of the Public Facilities Agency at Dubai Municipality, said the initiative reflects the municipality’s focus on sustainable tourism and quality of life, while enabling private-sector participation and creating new economic opportunities.
The project aligns with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and the emirate’s broader quality-of-life goals. Planned RV parks are expected to operate year-round and include hospitality, dining, wellness, and recreational facilities designed for families and visitors of different ages and abilities.
Dubai Municipality said it will support industry growth through incentives, subsidies, and reduced land costs, and will work with financial institutions to provide flexible payment options for RV ownership and rental models. Marketing efforts will target regional and international audiences in collaboration with tour operators and private-sector partners.
The municipality has invited investors, RV park operators, and tourism companies to participate in developing and operating the network, positioning the initiative as a long-term platform for tourism development and community wellbeing.
