Tourists Stranded in Hatta
The incident happened at approximately 11:30 a.m. last Tuesday. The two women realized they could no longer continue their hike because of extreme fatigue. They immediately contacted the Command-and-Control Centre at Dubai Police to ask for urgent medical and physical assistance.
Swift Rescue Operation
Brigadier Mubarak Al Ketbi, Director of the Hatta Police Station, quickly sent specialized teams to the area. The response team included the Brave Unit, Hatta Police patrols, and paramedics from the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services. These units maintain high readiness to handle emergencies in valleys and challenging mountain terrains that attract large crowds. The officers carry comprehensive rescue gear and undergo rigorous training to manage a wide range of crisis situations at any hour.
Advanced Technology in Action
To find the hikers fast, the rescue teams deployed advanced drone technology. Once the drones pinpointed their exact location, personnel used specialized mountain rescue equipment to reach the women. The team then safely moved them to a designated medical point to receive proper care. The Hatta Brave Unit relies heavily on modern tools to execute these missions. They use modified mountain vehicles, thermal drones for night operations, heavy rescue tools, and live transmission technology that connects directly to the Command and Control Centre.
Safety Reminders for Hikers
If you plan to hike in remote areas, always prioritize your safety. Dubai Police urge everyone to stick strictly to designated trails to prevent getting lost or trapped in dangerous terrain. If you ever face an emergency in the mountains, dial 999 immediately or use the SOS feature on the Dubai Police smart application. Providing your accurate location details ensures that rescue teams can reach you rapidly and safely.
