About

Hatta is Dubai's mountain escape, 90 minutes from the city. Rent a kayak or pedal boat on the emerald reservoir, hike the surrounding trails, or explore the Hatta Heritage Village. The air is cooler and the pace is slower โ€” perfect for a full-day adventure.

Things to do

  • Kayak across the dam reservoir
  • Hike the Hatta Wadi Hub trails
  • Visit Hatta Heritage Village
  • Try honey from local farms

Getting there

๐Ÿš— Car๐ŸšŒ Bus

About 90 minutes by car via E44. RTA Hatta Express bus runs from Dubai Mall on weekends.
