4x4 Hatta Safari to Fossil Rock & Honey Bee Garden visit with Breakfast
Description
Start your day with a scenic drive in a rugged 4x4 Jeep to reach the desert. Watch a Falconer demonstrate the hunting skills of the Emiratis’ favorite bird and share in his knowledge about why the magnificent Falcons are so special to the Nation. the first photo-stop will be at the famous Fossil & Camel Rock which are unusual rock formations hidden in midst of high sand dunes. The Honeybee Garden is your first stop in Hatta where you learn all about the fascinating art of beekeeping and honey making. Enjoy a picnic breakfast in the lap of the Arabian Desert. Continue your drive to reach Hatta Heritage Village where you have free time to explore the country’s past at this open air museum. The last stop brings you through the stony Hajjar Mountains to Hatta Dam from where you have amazing views. Later you will drive back to the City.

Itinerary
Hop aboard your comfortable 4x4 in front of your central Dubai hotel in the morning. Settle into the air-conditioned interior and with your driver-guide at the wheel, set off on your journey through the UAE’S stark desert landscapes. Head toward the UAE-Oman border and Hatta, an old trading settlement with a historical fort and rock pools, nestled high in the craggy Hajar Mountains. Watch as the terrain shifts from open plains to dunes and rocky mountain slopes, and after roughly two hours on the road, arrive at Hatta Heritage Village. A recreation of an old mountain hamlet dating back to before the 20th century, the complex comprises dwellings and buildings built from mud, palm leaves, reeds, and stone. Head inside with your guide to stroll around the houses, mosques, and watchtowers and see the displays of weaponry, handicrafts, and traditional dress that showcase what life was like here until the mid-1900s. See Hatta Fort as you learn more about the region’s history, and then climb back inside your 4x4 to venture deeper into the desert. Continue to Jebel Maleihah, otherwise known as Fossil Rock. This large rocky outcrop rears sharply from the sands and gets its nickname from the many ancient marine fossils embedded in its slopes. Hop out to look for these swirling, aeons-old fossils — imprints of shells and tiny marine creatures that lived on the ocean floor when the Arabian Peninsula was covered by the sea millions of years ago. Then, make your way to nearby Camel Rock. Take snaps of the desert rock formation that resembles a camel, and then return to Dubai where your day trip ends at your hotel.

The safari tour overall was amazing. I highly recommend the experience. The trip started a little rocky with some vehicle problems that were quickly resolved. The tour guides made up for the inconvenience with great customer service and an awesome experience on the dunes. The entertainment at the dessert dinner was awesome! Our group was disappointed when we were told that the dinner experience would culminate with some delicious lamb chops. It was later determined that would not be the case. ☹️☹️☹️

Good morning, Very good reception at Wazo hotel, however the hotel's restoration remains to be deplored. I'm talking about the staff, the service. They take away our glasses to drink even though we had bought bottles of water. Another point to get the room in Dar Atlas. Room scheduled for 12 p.m., then 2 p.m. to finally conclude at 2:30 p.m. after a discussion, a little more intense and after departure from the previous hotel scheduled for 9:45 a.m., then postponed to 11:45 a.m. All this without being warned. So a lack of communication. Sincerely
Dear 96gerardj, Please be advised that this review page is for 4x4 Hatta Safari to Fossil Rock & Honey Bee Garden visit with Breakfast. we as Orient Tours don't have any link with Hotel Wazo nor give this hotel during our safaris.

Our guide was great and everything well Organizer. It was a funny trip in the dessert without any stressful safari riding. Everything calm. Bee‘s , Dam and Hatta hills gave us a wider view of Dubai.

Very nice trip! The driver was very kind, helpful, polite and very informative (he told us about the desert, animals, arab culture, Hatta mountain, etc) I can easily claim that it was his absolute priority to do everything it takes for us to enjoy this trip. First we drove from Dubai to the desert and then continue our trip to the Bee garden (very interesting visit and their selection of authentic honey is amazing - we bought three jars of delicious honey!) and Hatta mountain. The scenery was beautiful (see the pictures), weather was amazing and breakfast very tasty! Definitely recommend!

Musthafa was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable on the sites and surroundings. He was entertaining and helpful at all times. Could not fault his service The trip was interesting but had more driving that anticipated, we stayed in dubai and it was almost 4 hours of driving in a half day session and the heritage site was shut due to construction work. Would recommend but check the driving distance to hatta from your start location and ensure everything is open along the way!
