Against the stunning backdrop of Hatta's picturesque surroundings, fitness enthusiasts took part in two energising workout sessions at the Hatta Winter Festival.

Organised by Brand Dubai, the creative arm of the Government of Dubai Media Office, as part of the Hatta Winter initiative, the event offered participants a choice between an exhilarating spinning class and an engaging high-intensity training (HIT) session, creating an unforgettable fitness experience in the heart of nature.

The spinning class featured bikes provided by 700 Padel and Fitness Hub, where participants, ranging from beginners to seasoned athletes, cycled to the rhythm of motivational beats under expert guidance.

Meanwhile, the HIT session offered a fast-paced workout that challenged participants with strength and endurance exercises, catering to those seeking a high-energy, full-body experience.

These vibrant activities underscore Brand Dubai's keenness to promoting health and well-being through innovative outdoor fitness experiences.

By encouraging a culture of regular exercise, the events aimed to inspire happiness and foster a healthier, more active community while positioning Hatta as a premier destination for adventure and recreation.

The Hatta Winter Festival, a key highlight of the Hatta Winter initiative, features a vibrant line-up of activities that celebrate creativity, fitness, and adventure.

Part of the #DubaiDestinations campaign, Hatta Winter also features the Hatta Cultural Nights, presented by Dubai Culture; the Hatta Honey Festival and the Hatta Agricultural Festival, both organised by Dubai Municipality; and Hatta x DSF, organised by Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism.

The vibrant festival scene has taken centre stage during the current winter tourism season in the UAE, offering diverse and enriching events that have attracted a significant number of local and international visitors, according to WAM.

These festivals continue to affirm their role as key drivers of the country’s thriving tourism sector.

Since mid-October, various festivals have emerged as ideal destinations for seekers of knowledge, culture, entertainment, and shopping, as well as those interested in heritage and sports activities.

These events serve as a cultural bridge, developing connections among different peoples and civilisations.
