If you have always wanted to visit the highlands of Dubai, we have some fantastic news for you. The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a special bus service that will take you from Dubai to the Hatta Bus station for only Dh25.

The new bus service was recently launched by the RTA and is now open to the public.

The drive, which takes around an hour and 15 minutes, departs from Dubai Mall’s main entrance in the tourist bus parking lot area. The bus operates daily from 7am to 7pm and moves every two hours from the Dubai Mall station.

It will take you from Dubai Mall to the Hatta Main Bus Station in approximately one hour and 30 minutes.

Riders can pay the Dhs25 fare either by Nol Card or give cash directly to the bus driver.

The Hatta Express Bus will take you all the way to the Hatta Bus Station. There you can take the ‘Hop On and Off’ RTA bus service from the main Hatta Bus Station for Dhs2. This will stop at all the popular touristic destinations in Hatta.

You can take the same ‘Hatta Express Bus’ back to Dubai, from the Hatta Main Bus Station, back to the Dubai Mall bus station. The last bus leaves Hatta at 7pm.
