Read moreA Hatta tour from Dubai is a guided full-day trip into the Hajar Mountains, about 115 km (1 hr 15 min) east of the city. You travel by 4×4 with hotel pick-up and drop-off included, and visit Hatta Dam, the Hatta Heritage Village, Hill Park and the Wadi Hub — with optional kayaking on the turquoise reservoir. Packages start at AED 300 per person, and the tour runs roughly 07:00 to 14:30.
Hatta packs mountains, water and heritage into one day. The headline sights are Hatta Dam (a turquoise reservoir set among bare rocky peaks), the 18th-century Hatta Heritage Village with its restored mud-brick houses and watchtower, the family-friendly Hatta Wadi Hub, Hill Park, the Hatta Fort area and the giant Hatta Sign — a Guinness World Records landmark. Popular activities include kayaking, photography, gentle hikes and mountain drives.
We collect you from your Dubai hotel between 07:00 and 07:30 in a 4×4 and drive the scenic E44 highway into the mountains. You'll stop at the Heritage Village, take in panoramic viewpoints, head to Hatta Dam for sightseeing and optional kayaking, and visit the Wadi Hub — with breaks for food and photos — before a drop-off back in Dubai by around 14:30.
October to April brings cooler, comfortable weather that's ideal for kayaking, hiking and sightseeing. Tours run year-round; in the summer months we simply start earlier so you enjoy the mountains before the midday heat. Mornings are also the calmest and best-lit time for photography at the dam.
A guided tour removes the planning, parking and navigation. Our drivers know every mountain road, all vehicles are licensed and fully insured (passengers included), and our team is on hand 24/7. With hotel pick-up and drop-off built into every package, you simply relax and take in the scenery — which is why most of our guests rate it their favourite day trip from Dubai.
