DSF × Hatta Wadi Hub.. A Mountain Festival Like No Other (Final Days to Visit)
As Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) enters the final week of its December programming, DSF × Hatta Wadi Hub enters its final days — offering audiences one last opportunity to experience one of this edition’s most distinctive outdoor destinations. Running only until 31 December, the activation has transformed Hatta Wadi Hub into an immersive blend of nature, light, performance and adventure across the Hajar Mountains.
Designed to showcase Dubai’s diverse landscapes, the programme highlights DSF’s expanding commitment to experiential, citywide entertainment beyond traditional urban settings.
Key elements of the DSF × Hatta Wadi Hub programme include:
The ‘Path of the Wild’ illuminated trail
A purpose-built nighttime pathway featuring light sculptures, wildlife-inspired installations and signature structures such as the Vortex Tunnel, Pulse Park and River Gate bridge — creating one of DSF’s most visually striking experiences.
Hatta is the Stage — live outdoor music performances
Daily and weekend performances are presented within a natural amphitheatre setting, utilising the mountain topography as a unique backdrop for music and cultural showcases.
Red Bull Iconic DJ Truck
Live DJ sets on 26–27 December.
Free kids’ play zone, “Build Your Own Mini Hatta Farm,”
Features do-it-yourself materials and guided creative supervision.

With the activation closing on 31 December, DSF encourages media and audiences to capture and experience the final days of programming before the mountain installation concludes for the season.
