Trade the city skyline for rugged peaks and mountain wadis on a day trip to the dramatic landscape around Hatta. Quiet villages, natural pools and winding mountain roads offer a completely different side of the region.
The journey itself is part of the experience, a scenic 4×4 drive through rocky gorges and green wadis, with stops at heritage sites and viewpoints along the way.
By the time you return to the city in the late afternoon, you will have seen a side of the region most visitors never know exists, raw, beautiful and wonderfully quiet.
