# Hatta Reset

> Mountains, a green dam, kayaks and a zip line — ninety minutes from the office and inside Dubai's own borders. The adventure day that does not need Ras Al Khaimah.

## Price per person, excluding 5% VAT

| Group size | Per person | Billed for at least |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| 15–29 people | AED 560 | 20 people |
| 30–59 people | AED 490 | — |
| 60+ people | AED 440 | — |

A group smaller than a band's "billed for at least" figure is still served, and is invoiced for that many people.
Where a larger band costs less in total, it is quoted instead: groups of 27–29 are billed as 30 people at the rate for 30–59 people; groups of 54–59 are billed as 60 people at the rate for 60+ people.

Payment: 50% advance on signature. 100% cleared 3 working days before the event. Numbers lock 7 days prior.

## Why this is not the retail version

A Hatta day trip retails around **AED 200–280 a person** for a coach, an entry ticket and a lunch stop — and the group arrives at 11:00 with everyone else, queues for a kayak, and leaves having done two things.

The whole design here is the **07:00 departure and the rotation.** Arriving at 08:30 means the dam is empty and the water is still, which is the only time it looks like the photographs. Splitting the group and rotating means nobody queues, and by 12:30 everyone has done both halves rather than half the group having done one thing twice.

**It is also the answer to a specific objection.** E-01 Peak Performance at AED 790 is the catalog's adventure flagship and it is two hours each way to Jebel Jais, in another emirate, on a fixed-price zipline ticket that cannot be discounted. This is 90 minutes away, still inside Dubai, at AED 490 — and for a team that wants an active day rather than a bucket-list one, it is the better sale.

**The mountains are the surprise.** Most staff who have lived in Dubai for years have never been to Hatta and do not know it is there. That reaction is worth more to the HR lead than any single activity in the day.
