Beautiful scenery (amongst the Hajarr mountains) , Brilliant facilities in the hotel, a lot of interesting arabic heritage not only in hatta but throughout the Fujairah emirate, and just outside, the town of Al Ain which has ruins dating as far back as 3000 BC, Not much to do in the area in terms of nightlife (-but can still drink)Hotel was a bit dated.
