Why plan your outing with Zad

Last stop before the lakes and dunes

There are no shops at Love Lake, Al Qudra Lakes or in the dunes. We're the last one, open 24/7.

Packed and waiting

WhatsApp your kit and pickup time; it's bagged and ready when you pull in.

A real café, not just snacks

Hot coffee, karak, wraps, smoothies and our Portuguese tarts, before sunrise or after the campfire.

Forgot something?

Ice melted, charcoal ran out? We're minutes away, day and night.

Frequently asked

Your outing questions, answered

Can you set everything up for us at the lake?
We pack and supply everything you need. For full set-ups, with tents pitched, décor and seating, we work with licensed partners. Tell us your plan and we'll tell you what's possible for your date and spot.
How far ahead should we order a kit?
A few hours is usually enough. On weekends, public holidays and big event days, message us the day before. For tailor-made outings, give us at least a week.
Can we order for a big group or a company?
Yes. Tell us the headcount and the date and we'll quote for food, drinks, ice, firewood and supplies, packed for your pickup time.
Are BBQs allowed at Al Qudra Lakes?
BBQs are allowed on a stand or in a fire pit, never directly on the sand. Camping and fires at the lake edge are restricted, so follow the signs, and take all rubbish home.
Do you open early for rides and late for campers?
Always. We're open 24 hours a day, every day, at the Last Exit on Al Qudra Road.
Can I change what's in a kit?
Of course. Every item is sold separately, so send us your list and we'll build it.

Tell us the plan.
We'll handle
the rest.
