Car roof tents are transforming overland camping for 4x4 adventurers. Whether you’re carving tracks through the Liwa dunes in a Land Cruiser or cruising the rocky wadis of Hatta in a Defender, rooftop tents offer unmatched convenience, safety and comfort.
With our car roof racks you can forget uneven sand or scorching ground and enjoy an elevated, level sleeping space with a cool breeze. Our Dubai‑ready roof rack mounting hardwares are engineered for extreme heat, off‑road durability and lightning‑fast setup. They are compatible with the most popular overlanding rigs in the Emirates.
Our roof baskets and car roof tents maximize space, save precious time and keep you ready for the next dune, wadi, or mountain pass. Or wherever you are planning your next adventure.
Why Dubai Off-Road Drivers Choose Star Overland
Our car roof tents are trusted by off-roaders across the UAE. They combine rapid setup, rugged durability and all-season comfort. Each roof tent is made for both function and adventure and gives overlanders a reliable, elevated sleeping solution. One that is easy to use, tough on wear and ready for extreme terrain.
Built to Handle the Toughest Conditions
Our rooftop tents are crafted using waterproof ripstop canvas, reinforced aluminum frames and military-spec components. Each one of them is tested to withstand sandstorms, high humidity, heavy rain and brutal sun exposure.
Quick Setup, Easy Pack Down
Speed matters when you're chasing sunsets or packing up at sunrise. Our clamshell hardshell tents deploy in 60 seconds flat, while our softshell models fold quickly with minimal effort. Designed for frequent movers, there's no fumbling with poles or wrestling with wet fabric. Just unlatch, pop open and relax. Packing down is just as seamless and saves you time and hassle on every trip.
Universal Fit, 4x4-Ready
Our tents are made to fit most 4x4s and SUVs, including popular models like the Toyota Land Cruiser, Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco and Nissan Patrol. Whether you're running OEM crossbars or a custom rack system, our mounting hardware ensures secure attachment. Just verify your roof's dynamic load rating to ensure safe installation. With low-profile options and aerodynamic shells, they’re also garage and car park friendly.
Weatherproof Comfort
Comfort matters after long days on the trail. That’s why our tents feature dual ventilation, blackout interiors, anti-condensation flooring and optional insulated liners. Stay cool in 45°C heat and warm when desert nights drop below 10°C. Moisture stays out, airflow stays in and sleep stays uninterrupted. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a weeklong expedition, you’ll rest easy in a Star Overland tent.

Overland Roof Tent Setup & Safety Tips
Know Your Load: Always check your vehicle's dynamic roof load limit—not just the rack rating. Your RTT, rack and crossbars must all stay within that limit.
Setup Guide Included: Every tent comes with easy install instructions and load calculation tips. Fits most racks with simple tools in under an hour.
Wind + MPG: Fairings help reduce wind noise; low-profile shells improve fuel economy. Most users report 2–10% MPG impact depending on speed and tent type.
Condensation Management: Use vents, keep windows cracked and add an anti-condensation mat for dry sleep nights. Pack dry to prevent mold buildup on longer trips.
Why Roof Tents Are a Game Changer for Overlanders
Rooftop tents let you camp literally anywhere. From rocky desert washes to alpine trailheads, these tents remove the need to find flat ground or clear a space. You get better safety, fewer pests and superior comfort. Many models store bedding inside, making it easy to pack up and roll out. Setup speed matters and hardshells go up in 60 seconds. For families, annexes offer gear storage or a space for kids or pets. Whether you're on a multi-day trail run or weekend loop, a roof tent simplifies your gear load and gives you more freedom.
