Hatta Valley |
One hour drive from dubai city is ancient fortress village of hatta, home of the hatta fort hotel, dubai only mountain resort complex.
The drive is as fascinating as the destination it self, taking the visitor through burnished sand dunes and mountaions varied in colour. Tours cover the recently renovated old fort and a trip through wadi hatta with its lush greenery and diverse wild life.
This exciting full day tour will take you on an adventure to rough roads through a valley of white sands and green fields in 4x4 vehicles.
Admire the refreshing environs of the old Hatta village with the picturesque Hajar Mountains in the backdrop and the rolling red Hatta dunes in the foreground on this nature tour. A dip in the cool waters of the mountain pools will re-energise you for the rest of the day.
We enter the wadis (streams) in Hatta, stopping by open waters and deep trenches. A dip in the cool waters of the mountain pools will re-energise you for the rest of the day so don't forget your swimming suits and towels.
A popular pastime with both resident and visitor is known as wadi bashing - exploring the wadis or dry beds of streams that flow after the winter rains from the hajar mountains. Many wadis offer scenes of unexpected beauty; attractive rock pools, some with water year round, surrounded with greenery.
We will then visit the 16th century fort featuring some agricultural farms where we will stop for lunch before starting the journey home via an alternative route.
