The Good Stuff
Kids Activities
Playgrounds, daytime activities, evening entertainment and outdoor films keep children occupied beyond the tent.
Tent Comfort
The two-storey tent apartments are spacious and equipped with beds, air conditioning and useful in-room facilities.
Private BBQ
Each tent has private outdoor space and a barbecue area, with complimentary charcoal or a BBQ kit mentioned by guests.
Park Access
Several guests received access or tickets for Dubai Parks, making the stay useful for combining glamping with theme-park visits.
Peaceful Setting
The landscaped, green surroundings provide a nature-focused atmosphere and pleasant walking areas during quieter periods.
Pool
The pool is described as clean and enjoyable, with graduated entry, complimentary towels and sunbeds.
Breakfast
Breakfast receives strong feedback, including varied buffet food and dinosaur-shaped pancakes for children.
Tips for a Better Visit
Pack Warmth. If visiting in winter, bring warm layers and consider asking about heater availability before arrival.
Bring Repellent. Pack mosquito repellent for time around the private BBQ and outdoor areas.
Plan BBQ. Bring your own meat and skewers; complimentary charcoal and BBQ essentials were available in one stay.
Choose Water View. Ask for a tent overlooking the water if you want distance from entertainment noise and rides.
Visit Weekdays. A Monday–Tuesday stay was described as the best time to do activities in the UAE and was reported as good value.
Check Directions. Allow extra time to find the entrance: multiple guests said map directions or signage were misleading.

The Bottom Line
T-Rex Glamping Dubai is a dinosaur-focused family stay in Dubai South, built around two-level tent apartments, animated dinosaur displays and outdoor activities. Children can use the playgrounds, join dinosaur-themed entertainment, swim in the pool and watch films at the outdoor cinema. Breakfast is another regular highlight, with one family singling out dinosaur-shaped pancakes, while several stays included Dubai Parks access.
The tents offer more than basic camping: reviews mention comfortable beds, air conditioning, a microwave, kettle and kitchenette-style supplies. Each unit has an outdoor barbecue area, and guests reported receiving charcoal or a BBQ kit, although you should bring your own meat and skewers. The green setting is calm and pleasant for walking, especially on quieter weekdays.
There are important trade-offs. Winter nights can be cold, with multiple guests saying heaters were unavailable or limited. Noise may also travel through the tent fabric, from dinosaur roars, nearby parks, traffic or neighbouring guests.
Check-in and buggy service have been inconsistent, and some guests reported missing toiletries, insects or unresolved billing problems. Ask about heating, request a water-facing tent if quiet matters, and verify directions before arriving. A reported one-night stay cost AED 1,300, so expectations around service should be clear before booking.
