Overview

Meet our guide at your hotel, settle into a private air-conditioned four-wheel drive vehicle, and start your half-day trip into the desert and Hajar Mountains. Travel through the desert interior, and don't forget to let your guide know if there are any specific sights on the route you'd like to explore. As this is a private tour, the itinerary can be tailored to your wishes. As you head toward Hatta, witness the landscapes change from open expanses to dunes, and the rocky foothills of the Hajar Mountains. Hear from your guide about Hatta itself, an old trading settlement known for its historical fort and rock pools nestled in the mountain slopes. Stop to enjoy a breakfast picnic before continuing to Jebel Maleihah, also knows as Fossil Rock. This rocky outcrop looms from the sands and is named after the ancient marine fossils embedded in its slopes. Your next stop is the Hatta Honeybee Garden. You'll learn all about the fascinating art of beekeeping and honey making. Afterwards, you'll make your way through the imposing Hajjar mountains to Hatta Dam providing amazing views to make many a shutterbug happy. Your adventure concludes with a drive back to the city.
