A restored mountain village of over 30 mud-brick structures, a hilltop fort and old watchtowers set against the Hajar Mountains, showing how Emiratis lived away from the coast. Wander the falaj irrigation channels and weaponry rooms, then combine it with Hatta's dam and hiking for a full day out. Entry is free, but it's a 90-minute-plus drive from central Dubai and you really need a car.
