We're a group of South Africans keen to experience UAE off-road later this year. We would like to hire 4x4's (prferably equipped for camping).
Can anyone recommend UAE companies for this?

Peter.

When are you planning to come to the UAE. Our camping season is relatively short due to the Heat?

Renting a 4x4 to take off-road ( legally) can be done in Dubai. http://www.offroadzonedubai.com/rentandlease.html

You can rent else where but you wont be covered by their insurance when taking the 4x4 offroad

Camping Equipment: The basics are cheaply available at Supemarkets like Carrefour. ( Like a Pick n Pay hyperstore in SA)

Driving experience: Dont bother with any sand driving courses in SA. The dunes there are nowhere close unless you can get to Namibia.

By the way...I saw a advert in khaleej times few days back that off road zone is coming to Abu Dhabi also very soon.
