Dubai Culture highlights Hatta Region and Heritage Village

Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, Dubai Culture, is drawing on Hatta’s heritage to sustain the values of the ‘Dubai Fitness Challenge’ launched by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai.

Khalid Ali Gharib, Manager of Hatta Heritage Village, said, "Hatta is an ideal destination for cultural tourists because it is rich in archaeological and historical sites and museums, and allows visitors to learn about traditional industries while also indulging in various forms of artistic expression that are made available at continuous cultural events hosted throughout the year. While the ‘Dubai Fitness Challenge’ has drawn to a close, we want to highlight Hatta as a unique destination where the public can learn about the country's rich heritage through various outdoor activities, and maintain healthy lifestyles in line with the wise vision of our leadership."

Although the ‘Dubai Fitness Challenge’ came to a close on Saturday 18th November, the authority is encouraging the public to continue living an active lifestyle and visit the Hatta Heritage Village, where they can discover traditional activities such as mountain biking, crossing the waters of the Hatta Dam in rowing boats, or simply exploring one of Dubai’s most spectacular landscapes.
