Hatta

Hatta is an inland enclave of Dubai, nestled high in the Hajar Mountains near the border with Oman. Known as the "Highland of Dubai," it offers a dramatic contrast to the city's coastal skyscrapers with its rugged peaks, cool mountain air, and turquoise waters. Originally a historic farming village, Hatta has been transformed into a premier eco-tourism and adventure destination under the Hatta Master Development Plan. It is home to the Hatta Heritage Village, the iconic Hatta Dam, and the Hatta Wadi Hub, which offers activities like mountain biking, hiking, and paragliding.
