Highlights
Hatta is Dubai’s mountainous little sister. An exclave of the emirate that sits on the border with Oman, it benefits from some fantastic natural scenery and a more laid-back pace of life than the UAE's big cities. Less than a two-hour drive from Dubai, it’s a good pick for a weekend escape and close enough for a mini-daycation. In winter, Hatta is the go-to spot for hiking, biking, kayaking, and adventure, while in summer it's worth a visit for its cooler climes. If you're planning a trip out east, here's everything you need to know from where to stay and what to do to where to go for the best local food in town. Hatta is an old village located in the mountains and was traditionally used to escape the searing summer heat of Dubai. Located at in the foothills of the Hajar mountains and is bestowed with plenty of traditional culture and heritage.

This restored traditional village is one of the oldest in the country, dating back to approximately the third century BC. Carefully reconstructed stone houses and water wells sit among two watchtowers, a traditional majlis and a fort. There’s also a nice collection of old photographs detailing traditional life in Hatta, a basket-weaving area and a museum space showcasing old tools and weapons. The Al Sharria palm tree farm next door has a great example of the ancient falaj irrigation system.

About Dubai
Dubai rises from desert and Gulf shore as a city of soaring towers, vast malls and beaches, with older trading quarters strung along its creek.
The Burj Khalifa, built to be the tallest building in the world, soars above Downtown, where the Dubai Fountain dances on a lake at its feet and the Dubai Mall spreads out beside it. Along the coast, the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, the palm-shaped island of Palm Jumeirah and the towers of Dubai Marina define a skyline raised within living memory.
