First it was airstream trailers, then mountain lodges. Now, Hatta introduces a brand new caravan park where you can rent a trailer within the National Park.

When someone mentions a caravan park, what do you imagine? You might think of a modest place, with tent sites, a couple of amenities blocks, a small reception office, and… that’s about it. Not so at Hatta’s new caravan park.

The recently-launched park features stationed luxury caravans that visitors can rent and use as a base for exploring the surrounding national park and all its many outdoor adventures.

Each of the bespoke caravans features luxury interiors with curved wood and leather upholstery. The caravans are fitted out with  televisions and provide Wi-Fi access to ensure all guests are never too far away from the connectivity of city life.

Here’s a look inside…

There’s enough space to play Twister inside here!

Cosy kitchen and dining room included…

All caravans come with free mineral water, tea & coffee, and free WiFi

UAE’s outdoor explorers can park their cars right next to the caravan, allowing easy access in and out of the park. While barbecue areas are installed in the vicinity, guests looking to get a bite to eat without doing their own cooking can head down to the food trucks located at the nearby Hatta Wadi Hub.

Facilities include air conditioning, 24-hr security, a TV, indoor eating area, free WiFi, complimentary mineral water, tea and coffee facilities, fridge, and a BBQ area. Plus, access to the Wadi Hub food trucks and Hatta Wadi Hub activity centre.

Prices start at Dhs950 per night for a non-smoking caravan fitting a family of four (two adults and two children).

It is impossible to know whether this post at Al-Emirati.com on the victims of the recent Air India disaster is intended to be some appalling attempt at humour or satire, but by every single measure it is absolutely beyond the pale:

Not really. Not only do I not care if the victims "rest in peace" but it seems to me that they are, rather, resting in pieces!

I am of course talking about flight IX 812 from Dubai to Balglapour (or some other hell hole, they're all the same) that recently crashed (click here)

I know I know. Mean, blah blah. The way I see it is as follows. The UAE is (about) 50% Indians, Something that I, and 90% of all other Emaratis see as a bad thing.

This plane, carrying Indians who live and work here, means that 160 indians that clog up the roads, cause accidents, fail code inspections at Indian restaurants, speak like this guy, and are a general drag on the security of the UAE, wont be coming back. That is a very GOOD thing!

I can only pray that this happens every week!

Sadly, we'll probably have 160 new VISAs for 160 new Indians issued in 3 hours... And the authority in charge of this will flaunt that, as if it's a good thing.
