Overview
Al Ain, the “Garden City” of the UAE, is the birthplace of the country’s founding father, Sheikh Zayed, and one of the oldest inhabited places in Arabia. It is green, peaceful and full of history, a very different experience from Dubai’s skyscrapers.
On this private day tour your licensed guide drives you from Dubai to Al Ain’s best sights: the shaded palm groves and ancient falaj water channels of Al Ain Oasis (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the mud-brick forts and palace museum, the lively camel market and the winding road up Jebel Hafeet, the UAE’s second-highest peak, for wide views over the city and the Omani border.
You choose the order and the pace. Families can add Al Ain Zoo, and history lovers can spend more time in the museums.
