2D1N: Off Road+Camping Trip (day 1)

Date: 18/12/2009

J's parents were here for holiday,
so we decide to bring them to experience the
off road in UAE and camping at Hatta mountain.

Since it was raining continuously for 3 day last week
I'm sure there will be lots of water at the Wadi now
We start our journey early in the morning around 6am

Beautiful sunrise
We reach Hatta around 9am and had our breakfast
at one of the restaurant nearby
After breakfast, we visited the Hatta Dam
and then continue our journey to Hatta Pool
Instead of going to the same pool this time we decide to
try another pool. On the way to the pool we pick up
some fire wood which left by others.
The road that will lead us to the plateau
Wadi Hatta
A challenging drive on this rolling track that leads to
a plateau and then down a rocky track to a very scenic wadi
A plateau with a steep-sided gorge

We walked to the pool
Crystal clear water
Some locals do the dishes
