Just FYI to get to Hatta Pools you now need to cross a UAE check point. We hadn't been there for at least 2 years so were unaware.

Near Al Madam I think we were stopped and asked for UAE ID card or passport. Unfortunately I didn't have mine with me so had to turn back. :(

Glad it hasnt been just me. I tried to explain that we werent going into Oman just to the pools but got the "no arabic no passport NO GO TO OMAN" Shame to hear that it is dirty. Had a nice day down at the beach near the Hilton instead so not a total loss but peeved DH and DS's

Think of it as a blessing you didn't get to go, last time we went it was just a grafittied rubbish tip, such a shame.

We have just been talking about this in our office today as it can be inconsistent, we went a few weeks ago (and also hadn't been for 2 years) so didn't have our passports with us, they let us through once my dh showed his DIFC ID card. A work colleague went yesterday and managed to get through also showing their DIFC access card and each checkpoint asked them for different things. So just to be safe I would travel with you passport. Sorry you had to turn back :(
