Wanderlust Events
A proven, asset-backed movable luxury-camp business — the kit available to acquire for AED 100,000, with a AED 180,000 raise to relaunch it (AED 100k kit · AED 30k transport · AED 50k licence & refurbishment) under one of the UAE's most experienced event creators, in time for a nine-month Gulf events season that has nowhere premium to sleep.

Proven, asset-backed — and category-defining
A working, licensed camp — 40 teepees, full infrastructure, a pool — for a fraction of its build cost; the kit is worth more than the loan. Run by Vren Heierli: 25 years, a MESE award, and the first to turn shipping containers into venues in the Middle East (2011, still open), with a re-bookable blue-chip roster.
Demand with no supply — and a real return
35+ Gulf events a season need premium beds on site and can’t offer them — sold direct, via event companies, and via DMCs & tourism boards. ~50% net margin; EBITDA ramps AED 1.26m → 1.82m → 2.60m over three years, repaid inside the first major event.
