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
