Full description
Start your half-day trip into the desert and the Hajar Mountains with a drive eastward through the desert interior. On the way, let your guide know if there are any sights that you want to see more of during your trip; your tour is private, so the schedule can be tailored to your wishes. As you head toward Hatta, watch as the landscapes change from open expanses to dunes, and then to the rocky foothills of the Hajar Mountains. Learn about Hatta from your guide and see an old trading settlement and rock pools nestled into the mountain slopes. Stop to enjoy a picnic breakfast and continue to Jebel Maleihah, nicknamed Fossil Rock after the ancient marine fossils embedded in its slopes. The Honeybee Garden is your next stop in Hatta where you learn all about the fascinating art of beekeeping and honey-making. Afterward, make your way through the imposing Hajjar mountains to Hatta Dam.

It was a perfect tour for us, because everything is included breakfast, desert tour, camel farm, sand boarding and a trip through the country to see the other side with Very interesting impressions and beautiful stunning views. Thanks for the perfect tour. Very friendly guide ☺️ highly recommended

Really good guide to accompany us. Really interesting to see an area in the UAE away from the city. I would just suggest to the company that "dune bashing" and sand boarding is removed from the agenda. This can be done in many other ways with many other tours. Given the nature of the rest of this tour it would be more unique to keep away from these activities altogether to keep the tour suitable for those after a more of a landscape or heritage inspired trip (especially to provide an option for those who are unable to participate in higher energy activities like my parents).

Würden es wieder buchen! Abholung pünktlich, wir fuhren alleine zu zweit im komfortablen Jeep mit. Die Wüstentour, das Picnic (große Essensbox mit Broten, Banane, Muffin, Ei…), der Honigbienengarten, aber vor allem Sandboarding, machten extrem viel Spaß. Unser indischer Guide Jafa war sehr zuvorkommend, unterhaltsam und informativ während des gesamten Trips. Toll! Der Stausee in Hatta ist sehenswert. Die Landschaft drum herum eher karg, Wüste eben. Beim Honigbienengarten bekommt man einen Imker Schutzanzug und eine Führung mit Verkostung. Gegen Mittag brachte man uns wieder retour zum Hotel. klappte alles wunderbar
