Full day trips
We set off from Dubai in the direction of Hatta and Oman, and once outside the confines of the city you quickly find yourself in desert scenery. We’re soon off-road and our 4×4s are put to the test as we head through some fine wadis and on into the Hajar mountains. You have a choice of picnic lunch, or a quick bite at the Hatta Fort Hotel. After a chance to relax we head off for a spell of ‘dune bashing’, where our skilful drivers take you up and over some of the largest sand dunes and you really get to grips with the terrain. We’ll call in at a camel farm to see these ‘ships of the desert’ in their element and, as sunset approaches, we park up to enjoy the beauty of the desert at dusk. The full day tour is from 0900 to 1500 hrs. The tour can also include a visit to the bedouin camp at an added cost.
