ABC Wednesday: S is for ...

Hatta Dam, United Arab Emirates, December 2008

Hatta is about 115 km (71 mi) east of Dubai City close to Oman in the Hajar Mountains. Easy to reach by public bus and then about 2 km to walk to the dam. Our place for two nights.

We slept there in our tent. Wonderful. And we had some great walks around. On our video (at 4:20 minutes) (in German) you may watch a bit from this place.

And no, no water, no swimming.

This is my ABC Wednesday, S is for Swimming and for Sign, Sand and Stone.
