Used tents in Ghayathi typically sell for AED 150 to AED 990 (about $40 to $270). Tents sell on capacity and whether they are dry, so the single most persuasive thing you can do is pitch it, photograph it up, and confirm every pole and peg is there.
Selling a tent in Ghayathi
Ghayathi is a desert town in the Al Dhafra region, built around the workforce that services the oil and gas fields and the farms out this way. It is remote by any measure, and that shapes the market: things get bought to last, repaired rather than replaced, and sold on when someone leaves rather than when something newer appears.
Fixed-term work drives the supply almost entirely. Households are assembled at the start of a contract and broken up at the end of it, so goods come onto the market in batches rather than singly.
Everything happens by car and the town is small, so a landmark on the main road is enough to arrange a meet. Anyone driving out from Abu Dhabi should treat the journey as the main cost of the item and factor it in before agreeing the price.
Ghayathi, in Abu Dhabi, has around 20,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Madinat Zayed are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Getting it ready
- Count the poles and pegs against the manual, and check the guy lines are all present.
- Check the seams and the groundsheet for leaks, and make sure it is bone dry before packing — a damp tent grows mould in the bag.

Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Has it been stored dry?
Answer honestly. A tent packed away damp develops mould and a musty smell that never fully leaves, and buyers can smell it immediately.
