Citorah says

Hatta, 90 minutes away in the Hajar Mountains, where you can kayak on Hatta Dam.

From Getting Around Dubai 2026: Airport, Metro, Taxis, Careem/Uber, and When to Hire a Car, under “When to hire a car”.

The catch

Visit Dubai says many of Hatta’s attractions close from mid or late May to September or October, though kayaking on the dam stays open.

Good to know

Getting there
Without a car, RTA’s Hatta Express (route H02) runs from the Dubai Mall bus station to Hatta every two hours, from 7 AM to 7 PM, for AED 25.
