The Weekend in Hatta

We went away for a weekend to Hatta just over 100km away near the Oman border with 3 other couples and had a complete jol. The scenery there is awesome. Once you leave Dubai city the surrounds are mainly low yellow dunes with small scrub, from there to higher red dunes, then a stretch of savannah-like country and from there into the mountains. All within 150 km - really different. That was in mid summer so the heat was unbearable.
