Hatta has designed completely new trails, complete with shaded shelters along the way. However, they are somewhat confusing for the average hiker, We use a combination of old and new trails to mostly avoid meeting any other hikers or bikers and get the best views. If you did Hatta with us last season, these routes are completely different and will be a refreshing and exciting hike that you will really enjoy!
Two Groups/Two Guides: Intermediate: Faster Pace, 11.5k: Beginner Group: 8k Slower Pace
This hike is for enthusiastic hikers who just can’t wait to get back out outside on the trails and are willing to wake up before the sunrise to be able to hike in the best time of the day suitable for outdoor activities.
Intermediate group will take the back country route behind the mountains towards the Oman border and ultimately reach the Hatta Sign, continue over on the more challenging trails and finish after 10k.
Beginner hike will go through the back route closer to the mountain, but will still have a great hill to climb and amazing view at the top! Both groups will take 3 hours to complete the hikes but one group will go a longer distance than the other.
Beginner group will do a 2.5 hour hike with the goal of 8.5KM a slower pace on great trails. Enjoy while you listen to birds and discover the mountains and foothills in the Hajjar mountains.
Hatta is 1.5 hours from Dubai, Suitable for good fitness levels and active children 8 years and older.
Sign up for both hikes and groups on this page, you will indicate your choice for beginner or intermediate in the registration form.

The trail will be as long or as short as the group can manage. We will walk on a bit of road, a little on trails. The rest of the trail has smaller hills, and shaded rest areas the whole way. Along the way, our guides will teach you about the flora, fauna and mountains, and give you lots of guidance in learning to become an independent hiker.
We will pass through some local farms on the flat section before we loop around the smaller hills then visit the ancient village and the mountain ridge.
This hike is a favorite for new hikers and offers a great bonding opportunity for families. It is a chance to experience hiking and the mountains without worrying about footing or their fitness.
Enjoy the walk along the ridge of two foothills and the unobstructed view of the Hatta Mountain Range while playing. The Hatta mountains are a unique part of the UAE, very different from other mountains.
