The ride to the pool is nice. But then it isnt a stream, just still water accumulated due to rainfall. You can spend a few moments out there near the water and go ahead and camp elsewhere and carry on with your BBQ activities.

been there many times, best to go weekdays, sometimes is litter strewn but pretty drive in the mountains especially if you do a loop from Hatta through to Ray and back through Oman to main Hatta Dubai road

A good ride out to the pools, but big crowd and little water.

When we saw the rock pools we were very disappointed, the water was not clean and there was a lot of garbage around.

Do not worry! You have only 10 kilometer offroad from Al Fay. Do not forget bring your passport or ID, because you should arrive at UAE and Oman border check points. Pools are not very clean especially in weekend. Distance from Hatta to Pool is 17.5 Km.
