Hatta will come alive with energy and excitement on July 27 as it hosts the Open Sports Day, part of the Dubai Sports Council’s “Our Summer is Sporty” initiative.
Supported by the Supreme Committee for the Development of Hatta and various partners, the event is expected to draw over 3,000 participants from across the UAE and beyond.
The event will offer a mix of competitive and recreational sports, including free kayaking competitions open to the public and a running race at the iconic Hatta Dam, organised by Super Sports. Designed for all ages, fitness levels, and nationalities, the event promotes community engagement and physical wellness in one of Dubai’s most picturesque regions.
As part of Hatta’s broader summer sports calendar, the Hatta Summer Sports Tournament continues through July 31, featuring a wide variety of activities. These include a corporate football championship, PlayStation tournament, youth football festival, girls’ badminton and volleyball championships, tug-of-war, cultural quiz night, and a seniors’ walking competition. Other highlights include horseback riding and a children’s tour themed around “Hatta Honey.”
Looking ahead to August, Hatta will also host a night hiking event in Wadi Hub and a yoga session at Hatta Dam, reinforcing the region’s appeal as a wellness and sports destination year-round.
The initiative aims to activate natural spaces, support healthy lifestyles, and position Hatta as a leading destination for both tourism and outdoor sports in the UAE.
“Our Summer is Sporty” is a flagship program by Dubai Sports Council, offering activities across malls, beaches, mountains, and more. It includes inclusive programming for women, youth, and people of determination, supported by public-private collaboration to uphold the highest safety standards.
