The Magic City of Hatta is not limited to being one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the Emirate of Dubai, but it is also considered one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the Emirates due to the distinctive attractions and stunning landscapes that are unique to the region.
Hatta covers an area of 140 square kilometers and is characterized by an abundance of natural landscapes. It also hosts a group of monuments that enrich the curiosity of those wishing to know the history of the construction of Dubai between the past and the present.
Hatta is characterized by its colder climate due to its high geographical location, and it is classified as one of the oldest historical areas in the Emirates. The history of the area dates back to the period from 2000 to 3000 years ago, and was called at that time the two stones, in reference to the two mountains that guard its northern and southern borders.
The city includes nature reserves and dams, and the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment and Dubai Municipality announced the approval of the General Secretariat of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands "Hatta Protectorate" as a site on its list of wetlands of global importance.
