Weekend Getaways
On a vacation and you didn’t Instagram your trip clicks, did you even go for a vacation? If that’s a rhetorical question, hello millennial, please be assured that you’re not alone.
The search for the perfect places to sit on our Instagram grid is a quest, and it is a never ending journey. If you are looking for something unique and refreshing pics for your Instagram feed, you don’t need to go far. We have got one of the world’s most Instagrammed road trips here in the UAE. #Hatta has been posted on Instagram 188,755 times.
Yes, Hatta is on top of Instagrammed places. Yay! Go UAE 🙂
Hatta located in the foothills of the Hajar mountains, is a scenic landscape in the UAE. Favourite among UAE residents as a weekend getaway, the city is separated from the central part of the emirate by territory belonging to Sharjah (which is part of the UAE), and Oman.
Located 130km south-east of central Dubai, it takes approx. 1 hour and 30 mins to reach Hatta by road from Dubai. The journey to Hatta is a memorable experience as you pass through the scenic views of golden sands, deep red mountains, and the colorful landscape.
P.S: The best route from Dubai is from E102 (Sharjah-Kalba Road) via E611 (Emirates Road).
Book Sedr Trailers Resort – You can camp along the banks of Hatta Dam in luxuriously designed trailers.

Experience a night in caravan at Hatta Caravan Park
Hatta is famous for the breath-taking picturesque scenery – mountains, wadis, dams, farms, and fresh air.

Hatta has a cooler climate. During winter, nights can be a bit cold. So pack a jacket.
If planning for adventure activities carry good sport shoes, comfortable clothes, and hydration supplies.
