Hatta Dubai tour

Hatta, a pleasant mountain environment, is an inland enclave of Dubai that is approximately 130 kilometers from the city and located on the border with Oman. Hatta is advertised as a tourist attraction for adventure travel and educational tourism, with the reconstruction of Hatta village to give a glimpse of Emirati life. Hatta is a perfect weekend for locals, residents, and visitors who want to climb the Hajar Mountains, hike the scenic trails, or just enjoy the cooler temperatures during the summer.

That said, here are some fun outdoor activities you can enjoy while traveling:

Kayak

The Hatta Dam Reservoir is a very special place, surrounded exclusively by jagged mountains. The reservoir, built in the 1990s to supply energy and water to the area, is now the perfect backdrop for images of blue water and rocky hills. This strange empty area is most popular because of the cool and pleasant water, except for the opportunity to take photos that match Instagram. You can rent a kayak solo or double and spend a few hours paddling to admire the view. The Hatta Dubai kayak experience will surely remain in your memories forever.

Check out Hatta Wadi Hub

Be sure to stop by Hatta Wadi Hub for a variety of adrenaline pumping activities. For those looking for adrenaline, this outdoor adventure attraction is a must see. Available activities include ax throwing, ziplining, archery and a giant zorbing ball, or you can cool off in a “Drop-In” called “Drop-In”, a colossal slide adventure center.

Walk to Hatta village

Not all outdoor experiences have to be stressful, and Hatta Heritage Village seems to be the perfect place to take it easy. This small ancient town reveals an important narrative of old Dubai; a historical scene that takes you back over 2,000 years, experience how the original residents lived as you walk between superbly maintained old mansions and remodeled ancient castles. To admire the panorama of this ancient village, climb to the top of the defensive tower, built in the 19th century.

Walking or bicycle tours

This enchanting place is located in the middle of a mountain and there is no better way to appreciate the landscape than hiking or biking through the enchanting slopes. Hiking is an unappreciated entertainment in Dubai, but a great way to weave through the wadis or reach a breathtaking vantage point with breathtaking scenery. Alternatively, you can rent a bike and ride the Hatta Mountain Bike Trail. This unique selection of well -marked cycle paths has been designed to accommodate cyclists of all abilities and is a suitable outdoor escape for city dwellers who want to reconnect with nature.

For the best (and best) view, ride while the sun rises and watch the animals. The Mount Hatta Conservation Area is home to the largest collection of Arabian tahr in the world.

Things to keep in mind

Be sure to bring appropriate warm clothing when visiting Hatta, as the nights can be cold due to the high elevation compared to the main metropolis of Dubai. Make sure you and your friends have extra warm clothes to pack on a cold desert evening, especially when traveling in the winter. Make sure you have adequate safety equipment and emergency supplies when planning an outdoor adventure, such as a mountain walk or dam kayak. For example, mountain bikers should bring an emergency GPS system, a cell phone with an extra battery, and enough food and drink for the trip. Because cell phone reception is not good throughout the mountains, it is better to travel together.

Another basic tip is to monitor the weather, because in winter everything can get wet, making trips and hiking in the mountains at risk.

Hatta is a suitable destination for those who want to learn more about life in this region before modern times, or for those who want to explore the natural places of the UAE, or for guests who want to interact with nature and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoying living in many modern comforts.

Wrap it up

Overall, Hatta is a wonderful place that should be planned for at least once in your lifestyle. It will take you away from the hustle and bustle of the city in a peaceful environment. So, plan your Hatta Dubai tour now.
