partial scoreHatta Kayaking - Dam Reservoir
Hatta · Dubai-Hatta Rd - Hatta - Sufayri - Dubai - United Arab Emirates
Heritage village of 30 buildings on an ancient site, with crafts, weaponry, sculptures & customs.
Kayaking on the Hatta Dam reservoir - a striking turquoise lake set between the rocky Hajar Mountain peaks - is one of the UAE's most scenic outdoor water activities. The reservoir water is calm and clear, making it suitable for all levels from families in double kayaks to solo paddlers wanting a serious workout. Stand-up paddleboard hire is also available for those preferring a balance challenge. The mountain backdrop is dramatically different from anything on the coast, and the cool temperatures at altitude make this a comfortable activity even into late April. Combine with mountain biking for a full Hatta adventure day.

Last year, we celebrated a birthday at Wadi Hub Hatta and booked three camping slots and honestly it was such a great experience.
