Hatta Pools at mid-summer
August 30, 2011
Hatta is a popular destination among UAE residents who crave for the sight of mountains and natural water pools. The community, along with the dam is located in Dubai's territory, however the pools are found within Oman.
At the height of summer, it's a welcome sight to see water flowing through. Also, it was not humid (even when Dubai was) making it fine exploring the place further. Its the rock formations that were most amazing and one can just imagine it would have taken millions of years before it evolved to what it is now.
It was a hazy morning when we reached there and photos are not as good as when having blue skies.

Hatta is an enclave of Dubai and must see. Hatta Pools is nestled in the Hajar Mountains and its main attractions are its relatively cool, dry climate and the mountain scenery.
ReplyDeleteIt could be best expierience to swim through the narrow rock corridors with plunging waterfalls.
