Hiking
Explore the hajars
Surrounded by the Hajar Mountains, Hatta is covered in undulating peaks and troughs, perfect for hiking. You can trek along the winding wadis at the foothills of the mountains, near the border with Oman. Here you’ll see the varied terrain, from sandy patches to sharp rocks. Hiking offers a sense of peace and adventure for all types and ages, with lots to explore along the way. Discovering Hatta by foot is the best way to truly experience Dubai’s largest national park.
