Explore a living honeybee sanctuary in the Hatta mountains
Craft honey, lip balm, or soap in a hands‑on workshop inspired by life inside the hive
More...The Experience
Witness the wondrous world of bees with a guided visit to and a hands-on workshop at the Hatta Honeybee Garden and Discovery Center. At this living honeybee colony in the Al Hajar Mountains, you'll learn how bees live, communicate, and produce honey. Then, you'll enjoy one of three interactive workshops: extracting and bottling honey from a hive; crafting a personalised, honey-infused soap; or creating a lip balm using beeswax, shea butter, and essential oils—each including take-home treats and photos of the class. Exclusively for Mastercard cardholders.
