The market
Where BYOT fits
The UAE adventure-trailer market by price. Below AED 14k it's bare steel and unverified imports; above AED 40k it's premium overlanders for a different customer. The AED 14–30k family zone — beautiful, capable, local — is empty. That's the gap.
< AED 5,000
Basic steel utility. Bike, jet ski, Polaris flatbeds. No shelter, no camping capability. A commodity.
AED 5,000–13,500
Chinese import, pre-order only. Folding campers shipped in (e-Scooter UAE Hub and similar). Quality unknown, finish unverified.
AED 14,000–30,000
THE GAP — BYOT's zone. No new local build available. OBK World entered at AED 31,880, sold out and never restocked. Beautiful, capable, family-ready, hand-built locally — nobody is here.
AED 31,880–40,000
OBK World Trailblazer (sold out) · TransTech Camper Moo ~AED 40k. The top of the accessible range.
AED 40,000–80,000
Icon Auto · Master Trailer DRA. UAE-built premium overlanders for serious off-roaders — a different customer.
AED 80,000–190,000
TransTech 2A Max · Rock & Sand · BRS Sherpa. Expedition-grade and imported off-road caravans (a BRS Offroad Sherpa lists at AED 189,000). Out of range for family camping.
AED 110,000+
Imported handmade teardrops. Black Series, Bruder, Conqueror — landed in the UAE with shipping and duty. The look BYOT delivers for a third.
