no its a separate town, 120 kms inland from Dubai, it is part of the AD Emirate. I didn't realise you could do border runs there though, I was under the impression that my friends who did visa runs who live there, went to Hatta as well.

Well, I'm not 'living in sin' as you call it!

By the way, how many 60 day visas are you allowed before you have to get a 'proper' visa?

Although its a bit strange as you drive through a bit of Oman before you get to UAE Hatta. no border for those bits
