Being a tourist spot, Hatta is usually flocked with crowds. A new attraction is set to increase tourists to the highlands of Dubai. The mountains will soon be home to a waterfall.

The eye-catching waterfall project is being managed by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa). The authority did not provide the project’s completion date.
According to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid’s vision and directions for holistic and ecological growth throughout Dubai and to establish Hatta as a tourism and economic hub while maintaining its history, Dewa is carrying out ground-breaking initiatives in Hatta.
Hatta’s reputation as a centre for premium honey served as the inspiration for the waterfall’s hexagonal honeycomb shape. The oasis of the plan is connected by bridges that traverse a water canal, providing tourists with a magnificent panorama.
So if you visit Hatta for adventurous purposes, you might catch a glimpse of this under-construction waterfall at the site.
