The Hatta Rock Pools are a series of natural pools where it’s possible to swim between the walls of rock crevices. In the deepest waters, swimmers can watch fish in the depths and, at one pool, bathe in a small waterfall. Picnickers can relax on the rock ledges while savoring the tranquility and gorgeous scenery.
The Hatta Rock Pools are a popular stop on Hajar Mountain trips from Dubai, which usually include time to swim or simply admire the aqueous setting. Many Hajar Mountains tours also include visits to the town of Hatta and Hatta Heritage Village, an open-air museum that honors bygone local life. Other activities en route to Hatta can include 4WD dune bashes in the Dubai desert.
