Information about tick
The UAE is home to several important tick species, mainly camel ticks and brown dog ticks. These parasites are common in areas where desert meets urban development across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and the Northern Emirates. Ticks are a particular concern for pet owners, equestrian facilities, and homes near wildlife corridors or desert reserves. They can survive both extreme outdoor heat and air-conditioned indoor environments, requiring year-round vigilance, especially during October-April when outdoor activities increase and tick populations peak in vegetated areas.
In Dubai, tick problems are intensified by the UAE's humid and hot climate, creating ideal breeding conditions.
