Dubai Holding Entertainment launched T-Rex Glamping at Dubai Parks and Resorts in October 2025, a dinosaur-themed overnight accommodation combining theme park access with evening entertainment. The facility offers two-storey cabins, outdoor cinema, swimming pool and dining at the on-site Roaring Dinosaur restaurant. Breakfast is included in bookings, and guests receive complimentary admission to four theme parks.

Accommodation Categories and Facilities#

The operator lists three accommodation categories in its published inventory. Each two-storey cabin includes double beds, air conditioning on both floors, a private garden area with barbecue facilities and outdoor dining space. Upper floors feature balconies overlooking the grounds. Maximum occupancy figures are stated in the booking system, though families should confirm sleeping arrangements and accessibility before reserving. Private pools are available in a specified category and are not standard across all units. The cabins are located directly off Sheikh Zayed Road. The layout allows children to sleep upstairs while parents stay downstairs, or the reverse arrangement.

Theme Park Access and Entertainment Programme#

Complimentary admission covers Motiongate Dubai, Legoland Dubai, Legoland Water Park and Real Madrid World. The accommodation page advertises park access without detailing full admission conditions in its main description. Guests should establish which parks their selected rate includes, how many visits are permitted and when tickets can be used. Evening entertainment includes outdoor cinema screenings, with beanbag seating and popcorn available. Children's play areas and a swimming pool operate on site. The entertainment timetable for specific dates should be requested before booking. Moving dinosaur models are positioned throughout the grounds, including a Tyrannosaurus rex at the entrance.

Dining and On-Site Services#

Roaring Dinosaur, the on-site restaurant, serves casual dining options including burgers and fries. Breakfast is included in the booking rate. Barbecue facilities are provided in the private garden area of each cabin. The restaurant operates alongside the accommodation, allowing guests to organise evening meals within the destination. Reception is located at the entrance, where moving dinosaur models including a Tyrannosaurus rex are positioned. The models move their heads, tails and eyes, and produce roaring sounds. Dinosaur illustrations line the approach walls from Sheikh Zayed Road.

Booking Considerations for 2026 Stays#

Families planning stays in 2026 should verify park admission terms, entertainment schedules and facility availability for their travel dates. The distinction between maximum occupancy and suitable sleeping arrangements requires confirmation at booking. Private pool access applies to a specified category only. Check-in procedures and the timing of theme park admission relative to check-in and checkout should be established in advance. The facility is accessible by car from Sheikh Zayed Road. The cabins include modern bathrooms and outdoor dining space with barbecue equipment.
