Dubai to Hatta for Dh25: Your complete guide to the Hatta Express Bus

Dubai: If you have always wanted to visit Hatta, there’s some good news. A special ‘Hatta Express Bus’ (H02) will take you from Dubai to the Hatta Bus station for only Dh25.

The bus service was launched by Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and has been open to the public since December 2022.

A little over an hour’s drive from Dubai, Hatta, also known as the ‘the highlands of Dubai’, provides a quick natural escape for city residents and tourists. 

You can find the Hatta Express Bus stop at Dubai Mall’s main entrance, in the tourist bus parking lot area No.2. The bus is easy to spot, because of its distinct green and blue logo and ‘Hatta Express’ printed on it.

The bus route, Hatta Express (H02), will take you from Dubai Mall to the Main Bus Station in Hatta in approximately one hour and 55 minutes.

The express bus departs every two hours from the Dubai Mall station.

The bus operates daily from 7am to 7pm and departs every two hours from the Dubai Mall station.

The trip fare is Dh25. You can only pay the fare with your Nol Card. To complete the entire journey you will need around Dh60 in your Nol Card. If you are travelling with your friends or family, each inidvidual will need their own Nol card. 

You can be recharged at two spots – Dubai Mall underground car parking entrance, which is right across the road from the tourist bus parking, and at the Hatta Bus Station.

The Hatta Express Bus only takes passengers from Dubai Mall to Hatta Bus Station. Visitors can take the ‘Hop On and Off’ RTA bus service from the main Hatta Bus Station, which will be available at all the popular touristic destinations in Hatta.

The bus fare is Dh2 per trip and the bus departs every 30 minutes.

You can take the same ‘Hatta Express Bus’ back to Dubai, from the Hatta Main Bus Station, back to the Dubai Mall bus station.
