The oasis of Hatta, located in the east of the UAE, near the border with Oman, has provided shelter for trade caravans since ancient times, as well as food and protection for the people who lived in it. Nowadays, the Hatta oasis is valued not only because of the water - it is also the most interesting tourist attraction in the United Arab Emirates. Here, sand dunes abruptly turn into mountains, forming numerous terraces, on which hundreds of small houses and thousands of date palms can be seen. The watchtowers of the forts, which previously reliably protected the oasis from nomadic raids, still stand as majestic guards on the rocks. The Hatta oasis is a good place to experience the traditions of the Arabs who have lived here for several thousand years. National costumes, weapons and dances are demonstrated especially for tourists. And if you are lucky, you can see a real oriental wedding.
