Hatta Heritage Village

The Hatta Heritage Village is one of Dubai’s most important cultural landmarks, offering visitors an authentic experience of traditional Emirati village life. Located in the Hajar Mountains, it was restored in the 1990s to preserve historical houses, forts, watchtowers, and mosques dating back centuries.

The village displays traditional farming techniques, handicrafts, and Emirati artifacts, giving insight into rural life before Dubai’s modernization. Interactive exhibitions showcase local pottery, textiles, and weaponry, while seasonal events bring folklore and culture to life.

Hatta has also become a tourism destination, with eco-lodges, adventure activities, and cultural trails complementing the heritage site. For Dubai, the Hatta Heritage Village underscores its commitment to preserving history alongside rapid urban development.
