New development plans aimed at boosting tourism and positioning Hatta as Dubai’s nature and culture destination.

13_Mountain Lodge Camp (september2018)Meraas has announced a series of major projects aimed at boosting the tourism sector in Hatta and advancing the social and economic development of the area.

The move aligns with the directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, which include the 10 year Hatta Comprehensive Development Plan that he officially announced in 2016.

Positioning Hatta as a destination of eco-tourism in the region, the first phase is scheduled to open in Q4 2018. Projects are based on strategic plans managed by Meraas, with both design and construction adhering to the highest global sustainability standards. Building materials were selected to complement and enhance the natural environment without compromising the geological integrity of the area or negatively impacting the surrounding communities and ecosystems.

HE Abdulla Al Habbai, group chairman at Meraas, said: “Hatta is known for its beautiful scenery, mountains, lakes, wadis, farms, dams and fresh air, and the development of eco-tourism demonstrates our commitment at Meraas to implementing the vision of our wise leadership by creating economic opportunities for young people, local businesses, and entrepreneurs in Hatta.

“Supporting and enhancing the integration of leisure, hospitality, tourism, and transportation is key to transforming this highly popular destination into a world-class area that offers families a diverse leisure experience.

“We have worked to establish effective partnerships between Meraas and the people of Hatta in order to ensure projects meet the aspirations of present and future generations and that the area is equipped to receive more visitors to historical, social and cultural heritage sites, as well as indulge in a distinctive shopping experience of handicrafts and agriculture products and enjoy authentic Emirati cuisine in Hatta.”

The first addition to Hatta’s tourism landscape will be a giant Hatta sign located at an elevation of around 450m in the Hajar Mountains. An adventure centre and an interactive tourism information hub will also open, reinforcing the links between visitors, tour guides and the people of Hatta.

The first phase of the development also includes an idyllic mountain lodge with 20 rooms that will offer a tranquil retreat.

Visitors to Hatta will also have the chance to camp at a first-of-its-kind trailers hotel on the banks of the Hatta dam.

The developments are located away from residential areas to preserve the privacy and lifestyle of the people of Hatta. The second phase of the project comprises a variety of additional hospitality and retail facilities that are set to create further touchpoints between local and international tourists and the rich Emirati culture.
