An engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) tender for a cable car system and luxury hotels at the Dubai Summit Complex (DSC) in Hatta has been issued by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA).

According to a statement from DEWA, these attractions are part of the Dubai Mountain Peak project, which will contribute to the overall development in the Hatta region.

The 5.4km cable car system will transport tourists to Um Al Nesoor, the emirate’s highest natural summit standing tall at 1,300m above sea level. It passes over the Hatta Dam lake and the upper dam lake, which are parts of the Hatta pumped-storage hydroelectricity plant currently under construction, as well as over the mountains. The route ends at the summit of the Um Al Nesoor mountain, DEWA explained.

The departure station will be built on an upper platform above the Hatta Dam. The intermediate stop will have a viewing platform and facilities to serve tourists, as well as a luxury hotel while the top station will include a panoramic viewing platform and facilities for tourists as well as suites from the main hotel, the statement added.
