Private Hatta Safari with Visit to Hatta Honeybee Garden
Meet our guide at your hotel, settle into a private air-conditioned four-wheel drive vehicle, and start your half-day trip into the desert and Hajar Mountains. Travel through the desert interior, and don't forget to let your guide know if there are any specific sights on the route you'd like to explore. As this is a private tour, the itinerary can be tailored to your wishes.

This rocky outcrop looms from the sands and is named after the ancient marine fossils embedded in its slopes.
