UAE/Dubai: Hatta Mountain Conservation Area

In the southeast of the UAE, in the northern part of the Hajar Mountain Range on the border with Oman, lies a scenic area of the Hatta Mountain, where a dam was built in 1990 to create a body of water and resulting in a scenic area of green lakes and sharp-edged brown mountains. Many people come here to experience some of the most beautiful landscape in UAE, jagged mountain peaks and abundant water – so different from the red sand that covers most of the United Arab Emirates. Two different emirates claim the area – Dubai and Aiman.
