Dubai has launched its first sand equestrian track in Hatta, aiming to attract horse-riding enthusiasts and enhance tourism in the mountainous region. The new facility provides riders with a professional-grade track set against Hatta’s scenic landscapes, promoting both leisure and competitive equestrian activities.
Officials highlighted that the project is part of Dubai’s broader strategy to diversify tourism offerings and develop outdoor sports destinations beyond the city’s urban hubs. The track will host training sessions, local competitions, and events designed to draw visitors from across the UAE and abroad.
Equestrian experts noted that Hatta’s terrain, combined with the new sand track, offers an ideal environment for riders of all levels. Authorities also emphasized strict safety standards, rider training programs, and eco-friendly measures to preserve the natural surroundings.
Tourism stakeholders anticipate that the initiative will not only boost sports tourism but also contribute to Hatta’s growing reputation as a destination for adventure and nature experiences.
