Dubai authorities shares new breath-taking images of upcoming waterfalls in Hatta

Dubai authorities have shared new images of the upcoming waterfalls in Hatta, where the renders show blue water from the waterfall snaking through a canal to a fountain at the other end and carpet of green grass and trees cover the rugged brown terrain of the mountain enclave. Hollywood-style Hatta Mountain sign is also shown. 

The Dh46-million Hatta Sustainable Waterfalls project’s design is inspired by the hexagonal beehive — a nod to the famous Hatta honey. The project’s four oases are linked with bridges crossing the water canal.

The project will use the slope of the upper Hatta dam to create a natural waterfall. A waterway will be built below the dam. The water gushing down the fall will collect at the end of the stream, get recycled, and pumped back to the top of the dam. The water canal ends at a lake that forms a diverse biological ecosystem and promotes a balanced natural aquatic life. A children's play area intersects with the three oases designated for coffee shops and restaurants, allowing guardians to monitor them.

The project is coming around the area that houses an 80mx30m mural of the founding fathers of the UAE, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum.

Coffee shops, restaurants, children's play areas; and stores selling honey, local products and souvenirs will come up around the waterfalls. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) will offer the retail stores within the Hatta Sustainable Waterfalls project free of cost to Emirati citizens in the mountain enclave.
