Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, recently assessed the progress of the Dh3.6 billion Hatta development projects. These initiatives aim to turn Hatta into a global benchmark for sustainable development, improving the area’s services, facilities, and infrastructure. The extensive plan includes the creation of new residential neighborhoods, tourism amenities, and green spaces to enhance both local and international tourism.
During his visit, Sheikh Mohammed stressed the significance of these projects in elevating the quality of life for Hatta residents and attracting tourists. He underscored how these developments contribute to promoting sustainable living and economic growth in the region. The projects are in line with Dubai’s broader vision of fostering balanced, sustainable urban development while preserving the natural environment.
The tour wrapped up with a visit to the lively Hatta Winter Festival, part of the Hatta Winter 2024 initiative. This festival features a range of cultural, entertainment, educational, and sports activities. Its goal is to promote local projects, encourage private sector participation, and create opportunities for entrepreneurs in Hatta. The festival has become a key highlight of the winter season, attracting visitors from across the UAE and beyond.
Sheikh Mohammed’s dedication to Hatta’s development reflects his vision for a sustainable and thriving future for all of Dubai’s communities. The ongoing projects and festivals not only enhance the region’s attractiveness but also nurture a sense of community and cultural pride among residents and visitors alike.
