Our stay in Dubai was quite short so we didn&#8217;t even consider renting a car and searched for an organised trip instead. The plan was to see the desert and go on a safari but not too adventurous due to Maks being with us.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not hard to find an agency that specialises in local excursions. You can go to the desert, to Abu Dhabi or to the Hatta mountains. Arabian evenings, boat trips and city tours are also available. There are plenty of offers in the agencies. Usually the trips last from a few hours up to a whole day. We mainly browsed\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arabian-adventures.com\/en\/tours-and-safaris\/index.aspx\">Arabian Adventures<\/a>, but after all decided to go for a trip with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arabiahorizons.com\/\">Arabia Horizons<\/a>. They had a stand in Marina promenade. We asked them for details, chose a trip we liked, paid and that was it!<\/p>\n<p>We were quite limited because of Maks. Most of the trips include a few hours in a car :\/. We finally decided to try <b>Hatta Mountain Safari. <\/b>It turned out to be a bit of a hasty decision&#8230; The views were great, but we still stayed in the car a lot and most of all \u2013 was it really worth 100 dollars per person? Don&#8217;t think so! So choose wisely. That&#8217;s how the Hatta mountains looked like \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/dsc0384.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1513\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/dsc0384.jpg\" alt=\"ulubiony moment maksa\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maks&#8217;s favourite moment \u2014 the camels were almost peeking right in the car from his side!<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/dsc0407.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1514\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/dsc0407.jpg\" alt=\"przemierzaj\u0105c g\u00f3ry Hatta\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">wandering in the Hatta mountains<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/dsc0437.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1515\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/dsc0437.jpg\" alt=\"gor\u0105co!\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">it&#8217;s really hot!<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/dsc0410.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1516\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/dsc0410.jpg\" alt=\"spacerem..\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">taking a walk&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/dsc0429.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1517\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteaway.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/dsc0429.jpg\" alt=\"zm\u0119czy\u0142em si\u0119 troch\u0119!\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Daddy, I&#8217;m a bit tired&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After the trip through the mountains \u2013 fantastic views, but travellers with motion sickness need to remember about their medicine! \u2013 we finally arrived in <b>Hatta Village \u2013 <\/b>our destination.
