The Cable Car Will Run From The Hatta Dam To Um Al Nesoor Summit
The cable car will be a new attraction at one of UAE’s favorite weekend spots- Hatta. The 5.4 km cable car will transport tourists from the Hatta Dam area to the top of Um Al Nesoor summit. At 1,300 metres above sea level, it will be the highest natural summit in Dubai.
The project is expected to be a major tourist attraction in the UAE. The cable car route passes over the Hatta Dam Lake and the Upper Dam Lake and through mountains. The route will finally end at the summit of Um Al Nesoor mountain, after three main stops. The departure station will be built above the Hatta Dam and will be linked to the car parking area using advanced means of transportation.
