Your Hatta Road Trip Guide To Have a Perfect Escape

A Hatta road trip is not a ride, but an adventure of nature, culture, and total liberation on the open road. The right car will help you maximize your trip. Royal Car Collection offers a lot of choices of a vehicle to rent, whether you prefer a comfortable, stylish, or performance car, the right car will match your traveling personality.

The following is the way to make your Hatta adventure memorable:

Don’t Make the Mistakes We Did

• Early Morning: Get out of town before the sun comes up. That way, you  will not miss the  morning mist over the mountains, like we did

• Smart Pick Your Ride: Like to ride in comfort? Go for a luxury sedan. Planning a rugged adventure? An SUV is your best bet. We are still recovering from the bumpy, long drive.

• Pack to the Terrain: Water, light snacks, hiking shoes-- Hatta is as crude as it is scenic. Do take sunscreen if you don't want to get a horrible tan.

• Navigation Tools: You have probably been using Google Maps even though you should not overlook signposts and the local suggestions now and then. 

• Most tourists fail to see the better things about Hatta by following the obvious. But not you, not this time.
