Rocky
Mountains The hills are alive with the sound of music Probably best known for the occasional cheeky visa run or a trip to the heritage village, Hatta is set to play host to a noisy weekend this month with the Hatta Mountains Rocktoberfest mini-fest. Expect the serene peace and quiet to be shattered, with the roar of 12 visiting bands, countless Harley Davidsons and a dance tent. Hatta Fort Hotel will be playing host to music fans who
can hear local bands Nikotin (pictured), The Crow Murder, Absolace and Maple Jacks, plus international offerings from the likes of Columbian-born Fantiniza and the UK’s Bootleg Blues Brothers. There will also be bike demos, skateboarding and family-friendly activities like face painting, gaming and a bouncy castle so it’s time for a rock ‘n’ roll roadtrip. Oct 7 to 9, Hatta Fort Hotel, Hatta, Dhs550 for two-day VIP pass including camping, Dhs350 for a two-day pass, Dhs200 for a day pass, free for under-14s. www. metalityuae.com
