Dubai to Hatta Villages: Private Day Trip

The Hatta Heritage Village showcases traditional architecture and farming techniques, including the falaj irrigation systems. The area preserves life as it was before the modern UAE, with restored homes and defensive towers on display. Inside traditional palm frond and stone houses, visitors can see period furniture. Or, attend a craft demonstration to learn more about the traditional techniques historically used in the region. There are also weapons displays and explanations of the defensive towers and techniques. Entrance to the village is free, and it’s typically open from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM every day, but it’s best to verify opening times locally as they can vary.
