Dubai: The Hatta Honeybee Garden and Discovery Centre, known for producing pure honey, has
rapidly emerged as an eco-tourism destination.
The facility, spanning 16,000 square metres in the Hajar mountains, is surrounded by ancient wild
trees, including the samar, ghaf, and sidr. Home to 300 active beehives, this natural attraction offers
not just a taste of honey but also an opportunity to learn about sustainable beekeeping in a
picturesque setting.

Since opening its doors in 2018, the centre has combined commercial honey production with an
educational role, attracting thousands of visitors to explore the UAE’s heritage in beekeeping. It
offers interactive workshops that delve into the historical and ecological significance of bees and
pollinators.
