Hatta Trek

Our 4-Wheel-Drive vehicles cross a variety of terrain on their way to Hatta, with spectacular views across undulating desert and rocky mountain passes. The first stop is at the Hatta Heritage Village where you can learn more about the village which dates back to the 16th century. The town lies on the banks of the Hatta Wadi (dry river beds), which then winds through the mountains revealing lush green oasis and refreshing water pools amongst the deep clefts in the rocks. You may want to take the opportunity to cool off in the refreshing springs before enjoying a delicious picnic lunch under the shade of palm trees. After lunch the drive continues across the majestic red sand dunes before returning to Dubai.

One hour’s drive from Dubai City is the ancient fortress village of Hatta. The drive is as fascinating as the destination itself, taking the visitor through burnished sand dunes and mountains varied in colour. Tours cover the recently renovated old fort and a trip through Wadi Hatta with its lush greenery and diverse wildlife. The village, which is more than 200 years old, and Juma Mosque, which stands amid palm groves, are other tourist attractions

A popular pastime with both residents and visitors is known as Wadi-bashing exploring the wadis or dry beds of streams that flow after the winter rains from the Hajar mountains. Many Wadis offer scenes of unexpected beauty, attractive rock pools, some with water year round, surrounded by greenery
