Hatta Unveils First Sandy Equestrian Track

The trail measures 2.54 kilometres in length and three metres in width, offering a purpose-built route that meets international standards while showcasing the area’s rugged landscape. Suitable for both beginners and experienced riders, it provides a safe yet scenic environment against the backdrop of Hatta’s mountains.

Visitors can either bring their own horses or use hire facilities, making the track accessible to all. Officials highlight the project as part of a broader push to preserve horsemanship as a cultural tradition while also boosting Hatta’s tourism profile.

Alongside its cultural value, the initiative is expected to create new economic opportunities for the local community. With its combination of heritage, sport and natural beauty, the track is set to become a key draw for equestrian enthusiasts across the UAE.
