Dubai Heritage Village

The Hatta Heritage Village was opened to the public in February 2001 after careful and extensive renovation. The village represents another fine example of the Heritage of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. Situated 115km southeast of Dubai city in the heart of the rocky Hatta Mountains, it provides the visitor with a fascinating glimpse into Dubai's historical past.

The two towers overlooking the village, known as the "two stones" were used as defense fortresses against hostile invaders. Today, the Hatta Heritage Village has become an important historical site for tourists.



The history of the village can be traced back to 2000 - 3000 years. It consists of 30 buildings, each differing in size, interior layout and building materials used. Great care was taken to use the same materials as those used when originally built during the renovation such as mud, hay, sandalwood and palm fronds.
