Dubai Municipality has wrapped up an exciting project in Hatta, unveiling the UAE’s longest mountain trails. Spanning a total of 86 kilometers, these trails are a new hotspot for outdoor lovers. Whether you’re into cycling or hiking, the Hatta Mountain Trails offer a great mix of adventure and nature.
Transforming Hatta into a Tourist Hub
As part of Dubai’s vision to create a healthier and more active city, these trails are a key addition. The Hatta Mountain Trails are designed to make Hatta a top spot for tourists and residents who love outdoor activities. According to Dawoud Al Hajri, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, the trails meet all the safety standards, making them perfect for everything from casual walks to international competitions.
Trails for Every Adventure Level
The Hatta Mountain Trails are organized into four levels: Green, Blue, Red, and Black. These levels make it easy for everyone to find a route that suits their experience level. The trails cover different types of terrain, from rocky paths to valleys, offering stunning views along the way.
For cyclists, 21 routes are stretching across 53 kilometers. If you prefer walking, 17 trails are covering 33 kilometers. Plus, there are 14 rest stops and 9 wooden bridges along the way, so you can take a break and enjoy the scenery.
Development in Two Phases
This project was completed in two phases. The first phase, which took just 10 months, focused on expanding and fixing up the existing trails. The second phase added rest stops, service facilities, and signage to guide visitors.
What’s Next for Hatta?
Dubai Municipality has big plans for the Hatta Mountain Trails. They’re planning to host events and competitions that will bring even more visitors to the area. Dubai plans to make these trails a key part of its push to become one of the world’s most active cities.
