Hatta Development Projects: Transforming Dubai’s Scenic Haven
Dubai continues to elevate its position as a global leader in sustainable development and innovation. In a landmark visit, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, reviewed the progress of AED 3.6 billion worth of Hatta development projects. His Highness also inaugurated key initiatives such as the Hatta Sustainable Waterfalls and visited the vibrant Hatta Winter Festival, reflecting Dubai’s commitment to transforming Hatta into a global model of harmony between humanity and nature.
A Vision for Hatta’s Future
Aligned with Dubai’s Vision 2030, the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, and the Dubai Social Agenda 33, these development projects aim to enhance Hatta’s quality of life, boost its tourism appeal, and foster sustainable economic growth.
Key Highlights of Hatta’s Development Plan:
- 65 initiatives: Out of these, 41 have already been completed, with a total investment of AED 3.6 billion.
- Hatta Sustainable Waterfalls: A spectacular attraction featuring a cascading waterfall from the Hatta Dam and the world’s largest mosaic panel, recognized by Guinness World Records.
- Infrastructure Improvements: Projects like the 250 MW pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant and a 30-million-gallon water reservoir are part of DEWA’s efforts to bolster sustainability.
- Tourism and Hospitality Projects: Development of Hatta Beach, new hotels, and resorts aim to transform Hatta into a year-round tourist destination.
Hatta Winter Festival: A Celebration of Culture and Community

Empowering Youth and Local Entrepreneurs
His Highness emphasized the importance of youth-driven innovation and local entrepreneurship. During his visit, Sheikh Mohammed explored successful projects such as:
- GoGravity: Founded by Khalifa and Ahmed Al Bedwawi, this venture manufactures electric bikes for rugged terrains, promoting the ‘Made in the UAE’ ethos.
- Al Bedwawi Honey Project: Showcasing Emirati excellence in beekeeping and honey production.
These projects reflect Dubai’s vision of empowering its youth to lead in sustainable development and innovation.
