Meraas has announced a series of major projects aimed at boosting the tourism sector in Hatta and advancing the social and economic development of the area.
The move aligns with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, which include the 10-year Hatta Comprehensive Development Plan that he officially announced in 2016.
Positioning Hatta as a destination of eco-tourism in the region, the first phase is scheduled to open in Q4 2018. Projects are based on strategic plans managed by Meraas, with both design and construction adhering to the highest global sustainability standards.
