How To Reach Hatta

The drive takes around 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic. From Abu Dhabi, the journey is a bit longer—around 2.5 to 3 hours. You’ll drive along the E11, then merge onto E611, and finally connect to the E102 toward Hatta.

If you prefer public transportation, you can take the RTA bus. Bus E16 runs from Al Sabkha Bus Station in Deira, Dubai, and heads straight to Hatta Bus Station. The bus ride takes approximately 2 hours and operates every 2 to 4 hours. This is a budget-friendly option and great for those not renting a car.

For a more direct and comfortable journey, you can also take a taxi. From Dubai, a taxi to Hatta will take about 1.5 hours and costs roughly AED 250 to AED 300. This option is ideal if you’re carrying luggage or traveling with family.
