Heritage haven

Hatta village is a fine example of traditional villagestyle architecture. Most of the old construction is made of mud, hay,sandalwood and palm fronds. The Hatta Fort is a unique building which hosts a Majlis and a weapons museum where pistols, swords and daggers, used in olden times, are exhibited. Audio-visual information about forts and citadels in the UAE are also available at the fort. Because of a higher altitude, Hatta has milder climes making it a popular vacation
destination. The heritage ambience provides Hatta with the perfect look, says KT Senior Photographer SHIHAB
