Hatta Heritage Village Mountain Lodge Camp.
Dubai’s efforts to promote itself as a family, couples and culture-friendly destination has been further boosted by redevelopment of Hatta Heritage Village.
Dubai Tourism said that in some markets it wants to move away from the “luxury and superlative branding popular among the press”.
“In Singapore, we’re actively pushing Dubai as both a wallet-friendly yet hip FIT destination and family-fun one, thanks to the city’s diverse tourism offerings which make it suitable for these two segments,” said Dubai Tourism’s Joyce Tan.
Located in the Hajar Mountain Range, 130 kilometres South-east of downtown Dubai, the redeveloped Hatta Heritage Village will offer trailer hotels, mountain lodges and an adventure centre.
With the first phase of new developments by Dubai-based holding company Meraas now open, the Arabian town offers adventure-centric activities such as mountain biking, carting, axe throwing, archery, freefall jumps, adventure rope courses, rock climbing, wall climbing, trampoline gymnastics, twin zip lining – and a human sling shot.
Fancy the glamour of glamping? The Hatta Damani Lodges and Hatta Sedr Trailers offer ecotourism experiences in the Hatta Mountains.
Overnight stays are also available at Hatta Campsite, a dedicated site for camping where tents can be set up for an indoor-meets-outdoor experience.
