Sharjah & Hatta Dubai

Hatta

A mountain town with a turquoise dam nestled in the Hajar Mountains

Hajar Mountains Full day

About this place

Although Hatta belongs to the Emirate of Dubai, it lies about 130 kilometres from the city centre, tucked into the Hajar Mountains. The scenery is a complete departure from the desert.

Kayaks and pedal boats can be rented on the turquoise water of Hatta Dam; the rocky hills surrounding the dam make a striking backdrop for photos.

The area also has Hatta Heritage Village (restored traditional houses and a fort), mountain-bike trails, hiking routes and campsites. Even in summer it is a few degrees cooler than Dubai.

Highlights

  • Turquoise waters of Hatta Dam
  • Kayak and pedal-boat rental
  • Hatta Heritage Village and its fort
  • Mountain-bike and hiking trails

Before you go

  • Part of the road runs very close to the Oman border; carry your passport with you.
  • The dam area gets crowded at weekends; go on a weekday.
  • Fill up on fuel and stock up on water before setting off.
