Spend 48 Hours In Hatta
What's On Dubai|April 2019

Hatta was once described to us as ‘the ultimate outdoor adventure haven, home to calm waters and picturesque hiking trails’ but where is it, how far does it take to get there from Dubai, and what exactly can we do when we get there? Here are five things to know before you go…

Spend 48 Hours In Hatta

01. The best time to visit Hatta is now

Make no mistake, Hatta is all about *outdoor* adventure. For the ultimate comfort, aim for a spring or autumn trip, when you can spend all day outside without fainting from heatstroke. That said, no matter when you decide to visit, make sure you bring sufficient water with you if you plan to hike or a mountain bike.

02. The mountain biking trails are not for the faint-hearted

You can rent bikes at the Wadi Hub from Dhs65 (for two hours). There are four levels of mountain biking trails, which all start from the Wadi Hub. Green trails are easy, blue trails are moderate, red trails are difficult and black trails are severe. Routes are colour-coded along the path with painted rocks. Be warned, even the easy routes are tough. The paths are quite narrow and rocky, and some parts are quite steep.

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER

This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly. You’ve never had it so cool.
