Correct answer: D. Hatta
- Step 1: Hatta lies about 134 km east of Dubai, relatively high in the Hajar Mountains, borders Oman to the east and south, and is an inland exclave of the emirate of Dubai. Answer: Hatta. Hatta Heritage Village is in the centre of the city, and Hatta Dam was built in the 1990s to supply the area with electricity and water. Why not the others: Masfout: It is not the exclave the Hatta article describes as part of Dubai. Khor Fakkan: The Khor Fakkan article calls it an exclave of Sharjah on the east coast. Dhaid: It is not the exclave the Hatta article describes as part of Dubai.
