Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has rolled out special transport arrangements to support visitors traveling to the Hatta Festival 2025, which runs from December 5 to December 28. The authority has designated dedicated parking areas near the festival venue and Wadi Hub, with complimentary shuttle buses operating regularly to ferry attendees from parking zones to the event site. These services are designed to streamline access and reduce congestion in the mountainous region.
The RTA advises festival-goers to plan journeys in advance, follow directional road signs, and use public transport where feasible. These measures aim to ensure smooth traffic movement and enhance the overall visitor experience during the month-long festival. The initiative is part of Dubai’s wider strategy to improve accessibility to its growing seasonal attractions while maintaining efficient road management.
The Hatta Festival has become a major winter attraction, drawing thousands of residents and tourists with its blend of outdoor adventures, cultural activities, and family entertainment set against Hatta’s scenic backdrop. By improving transport logistics, the RTA supports the event’s goal of promoting Hatta as a sustainable, year-round destination that highlights natural beauty, heritage, and adventure tourism.
The festival also aligns with Dubai’s focus on boosting the creative and experience economy, while reinforcing Hatta’s identity as a hub for eco-tourism and community-focused events. With enhanced transport links, authorities aim to make the festival more accessible, encourage longer stays, and further integrate Hatta into Dubai’s diverse tourism landscape.
