- Easy
- Needs a car
How it works
Drive to Hatta, climb the steps to the dam and pay at the kayak kiosk, no booking needed. Paddle the reservoir at your own pace.
The catch
It's a 90-minute drive from Dubai and the dam steps are steep and shadeless; go early in the cooler months.
Bring
Water, hat, sunscreen
You need
Single kayaks for one adult over 16; doubles take two adults or an adult and a child
