About this experience
Hatta is Dubai’s mountainous little sister. An exclave of the emirate that sits on the border with Oman, it benefits from some fantastic natural scenery and a more laid-back pace of life than the UAE's big cities. Less than a two-hour drive from Dubai, it’s a good pick for a weekend escape and close enough for a mini-daycation. In winter, Hatta is the go-to spot for hiking, biking, kayaking, and adventure, while in summer it's worth a visit for its cooler climes. If you're planning a trip out east, here's everything you need to know from where to stay and what to do to where to go for the best local food in town. Hatta is an old village located in the mountains and was traditionally used to escape the searing summer heat of Dubai. Located at in the foothills of the Hajar mountains and is bestowed with plenty of traditional culture and heritage.

Avoid this company!
I booked a day trip to Hatta with friends through ViaTor, and it went very badly. The driver refused to take us to our destination and was unpleasant and unprofessional. We paid for nothing, and no one has offered a refund. The service was extremely disappointing, and the driver categorically refused to do his job. I would not recommend this agency. Be careful if you expect reliable and professional service.

Mixed experience
The drive to the Dam was scenic. Saw some Camels on farms, beautiful mountains and deserts on the way to the Dam. The Dam was stunning with great views of the shimmering water nestled between the jagged mountain range.
Response from the operator: Dear Sir We thank you for you tour review. As above is Hatta tour we just provide scenic and photo stop experiences. If you wish to enter to Dam, we provide time, as we already upgraded your tour to Private tour without any extra charges, due to your hotel changes which we got to know last minute from your side. We thank you for you business support and will always try our best services to guest.

Avoid it
Booked this excursion through Viator and none came at the hotel to take us for the tour. No answers through tchat with the tour operator, no answer to Phone call and not any apologies later. Day lost... avoid it not trustworhty at all

provider cancelled at last minute without informing me
Probably a good tour, and I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately the provider cancelled at the last minute -- without informing me...

Not trustworthy
I received a confirmation email with ticket, but no one from Baisan tour company showed up. I called after waiting 20+ minutes past the pickup time and they said they could offer me a different tour or a different day. They agreed to text me details within 5 minutes. One hour later, still no text. I don't think you can trust this company. You might have a great experience, but you might also waste a day of time and have to haggle to get your money back. If you book well in advance you might have better luck. I had a great experience with the Platinum Heritage tour company.
Response from the operator: Dear Sir We are not able to find your entry, where we can reponse you. Many times guest books on our tours and contacts on other numbers, due to same viator vouchers. We are still looking for your details, if you can help us to send it on info@baisantravel.com

Why this scores 42
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hatta City Tour with Visit to Dam: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Hatta City Tour with Visit to Dam cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hatta City Tour with Visit to Dam take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is Hatta City Tour with Visit to Dam worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.2/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hatta City Tour with Visit to Dam?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Hatta City Tour with Visit to Dam suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hatta City Tour with Visit to Dam?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hatta City Tour with Visit to Dam start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
