Pura Eco Retreat at Jebel Hafit Desert Park is back for its fifth season, offering a unique getaway in the breathtaking landscapes of Al Ain’s Jebel Hafit Mountain.
A Perfect Escape, Just a Short Drive Away
Only a quick drive from Dubai or Abu Dhabi, Pura Eco Retreat is managed by Pura Eco Retreats and overseen by the Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT). This incredible destination blends luxury and nature, offering glamping with a touch of adventure in one of the UAE’s most historically rich locations.

Exploring this region is like taking a journey through time while surrounded by the comforts of modern life.
